I worked there as an usher from 1979 to 1982. The upstairs projectionist booth was haunted.
The theatre opened as the Brooklawn on June 2, 1937. Leonard Asheim was the architect. It was remodelled as reopened as the County on October 5, 1961. It closed in March 1989 and was converted for commercial use.
The Brooklawn was showing Hungarian films in 1958, according to this ad in the Bridgeport Post:
