Circa 1957 photo added credit John Griffith.
The correct name of the architect of the Palace Theatre is Alfred M. Lublin. A Jewish architect who fled Germany when Hitler came to power, he arrived in the United States in 1936 after practicing in Paris for a couple of years.
After the war his Norfolk-based firm, Lublin, McGaughy & Associates, founded in 1943, established branch offices in Paris and Milan, which Lublin headed. He died at the age of 53 in an airliner crash in 1960, cutting short a very successful career.
The Palace is mostly a community center with live concerts and plays, but still shows the occasional classic movie. The Palace has a balcony that is divided, as the projection booth is the middle of the balcony. Each side balcony seats approximately 30 people.
