As a boy back in the fifties, I, somehow was granted access to the 2nd floor of the building known as the Union block building on Main St in Putnam, Ct. The first floor was occupied by a bakery, tavern, hardware store and newspaper. There was a large staircase leading to the dusty and unoccupied 2nd floor. I saw a large room with a stage which definitely hadn’t been used for a many years. I felt then that I was walking back in time and that I was being granted a truly special opportunity. I found a an admission ticket labeled “Victory Theater”. I had never met anyone who had ever mentioned this theater. But I believe it was a combination theater and meeting or dance hall. Does anyone else know anything about this Victory Theater ?
