teecee commented about Hunterdon Theatre on Mar 5, 2005 at 4:42 pm

I had hoped to have more information before submitting this theatre. And it came last night in the mail. In the March 2005 issue of Hunterdon Life magazine (a local freebie), the theatre is featured in the centerfold. And what a centerfold she was. The photo is timeless. Although “On Golden Pond” is shown on the marquee, at a quick glance the photo could easily be from the 50s or 60s.

The theater was built by Alvin Sloan, partner is St. Cloud Amusement Corp. The company owned the St. Cloud theater in Washington DC and about a dozen others in NJ. There was a shortage of steam beams during WWII, so the curved roof is supported by laminated wood beams. The architect who came up with this idea was Edwin Weed.

Sloan didn’t like the smell of popcorn, so the theatre didn’t sell any until 1946, when Brandt Theaters began to lease the theatre. They leased it for the next 25 years. In 1969, the 100 seat smoking loge was added and the ventilation system upgraded. The theatre officially closed its doors on September 16, 1993, after a 9:30 pm showing of The Fugitive. As previously reported, Coat World, part of Flemington Furs, leased the building immediately thereafter until about 2001. The current owner is Eagle Properties.

Today, that infamous curved roof is painted aquamarine.
