The Strand Theatre was opened May 17, 1920 as a single screen. It closed in 1966.
It was reopened as a twin in 1971, renamed Petite Theatre. It was located just a block from the large Granada Theatre. It was still open as late as 1984. The building became occupied by Club 707 and the Wheat Grill. By 2026 it was a studio.

The Petite Theatre Reopened As A Twin In 1971.
Now some sort of studio, with a tacky ground floor dating to a recent run as a Mexican restaurant. The building was constructed in 1919, and says ‘Kirkendall’ at the top, perhaps the first owner?
