Blackstone Theatre...New Rockford ND

The Blackstone Theatre opened in 1920, with seating for 272. It is one of those impressive old small town theatres with its red brick front and white terra trim.

Later renamed Rockford Theatre, it has a squared marquee with attraction panels on each end. It also has a good-sized vertical sign. Well appointed and maintained lobby and auditorium. It had one show each evening at 8:00. It was closed in December 2022 when the roof collapsed due to the weight of snow.

Nice profile of this theater (and of the Roxy /theaters/6618/)) on tonight’s NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.
