I just uploaded pictures of the restoration. I also requested that the status be changed to “Restoring”. The theater will hopefully re-open this summer.

The Community bank is next door to where this theater was.
Another building is where the theater was. I believe exterior walls on the right and back side remain.

The Park Theater in Avon has a new owner and vision. The Theater celebrates it’s 80th birthday on 7/30/18. It’s opening day was celebrated with a parade in the village in1938. The theater was one of the first in the Rochester area to have Air Conditioning. A Main St and restore NY grants have been secured. Restoration will begin soon.

The Petition was closed online. An effort to gain signatures locally on paper is underway. A recent walk through has been done by Ann. She also has met with a county representative who works on Main street revitalization.

It has been beautifully restored and shows classic movies.

Great theater. The owner really takes pride in it. We drive 30 miles to go to it, even though multiplexes are closer. The popcorn is awesome!

We have a facebook Page set-up and MJM has offered to work on a website for us. We had 20 people sign up at The Corn fest… one of which is an Architectual Professor at SUNY Alfred.

The theater has been demolished. The facade was still standing the last time I was in Mount Morris.

I’m an Avon resident. Paul Brown is spearheading an effort to set-up a Not-for-profit organization to purchase, restore and use the theater. He worked on the Smith Opera House project in Geneva, NY. He set-up in front of the Theater during the Avon Corn festival last weekend passing out info and having people sign up to help. The marquee had “Opening Soon” on it as well! A September meeting is going to be scheduled. Please e-mail me if you are interested in helping: The owner is working with Paul. He still has the seats and equipment.
