Architect Victor A. Rigaumont applied for a copyright of his design for a remodeling of the Strand Theatre in Ridgway in 1944. The project included a new roof and ceiling.
This theatre is marked as closed and it should be marked as demolished.
I called the Ridgway Chamber of Commerce and have learned that the town spells its name as Ridgway without the letter E.
I recently met a gal who travels through Ridgeway PA from NJ on a monthly basis and she told me there is a commemorative plaque where the Strand once stood on the corner of Main and N. Broad. Very nice.
I have some adverts from 1923. It appears to have been a movie house along with vaudeville. I was doing my research starting in ‘23, so I’m not sure when it was opened. Also looks like a lot more vaudeville than movies.
