Opened as the Lakes Theatre in 1934.
This was the theater I believe where I saw Paranorman. This looks very familiar, but I’m not so sure.

This theatre is presently offered for sale. Its online presence suggests it has not been open since March.
The Lakes Theatre opened its doors on March 10, 1933, and suffered damage from one of the tornadoes from the Super Outbreak of April 3, 1974. Repairment took almost three months before reopening on June 25, 1974. This didn’t last long, and the Lakes Theatre closed the following year in 1975 when Roger Vore of the Vore Cinema Corporation took it over. The original building was mostly demolished, a new entrance was added, and the theater was converted to a twin, reopening later in the mid-1970s as the Twin Lakes Cinema I & II.
COVID closed the theater on March 16, 2020, and left it closed for three years. It wasn’t until March 2023 when Ryan Harrison and Ryan Crawford of Winamac took over operations of the theater, and the Twin Lakes Cinema I & II reopened in August 2023 for only a short time until February 2024 when it closed due to several months of renovation. The theater was then downgraded back to a single-screener, and was renamed the Peacock Theatre, before eventually reopening its doors on September 20, 2024.
The Peacock Theatre reopened as a special tribute to the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Super Outbreak by playing both Twister movies (the original and the sequel). When it reopened, the Peacock Theatre originally showed first-run films only. It wasn’t until December 2024 when a policy upgrade was issued by the management. First-run films were shown Wednesdays to Sundays, and the theater’s management began showing religious films on Mondays as well as independent film matinees on Saturday mornings while first-run movies continued through Saturday afternoon and evenings.
