The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for the Park; it’s Card # 489. Address is Main Street in “Jaffey NH”. There is an exterior photo taken March 1941. Condition is Good. The report says the Park opened in 1929, shows MGM films, and has 439 main floor seats and 100 in the balcony. The 1940 population was 2,800.
Wish you could have saved some of the old theater… Relics are important too.
This building has been recently demolished. Demolition videos are available to view on the website http://www.theparktheatre.org. Fortunately the demolition of this building is for a good cause, as the land will be used for another Park Theatre.
Glad to hear that another movie theatre is set to be restored and re-opened.
Here is an April 2004 article about Team Jaffrey:

The Park is open. Last year they were showing movies in the summer and also putting on stage plays.
