Opened on January 9, 1908, expanded in 1912 and again in 1927, the Levoy Theatre followed a familiar arc over the next century. The original fare of Vaudeville and silent movies gave way, in 1939, to movies alone as the theatre became a Warner Brothers house.
In 1952 the theatre returned to local ownership and again became a house for music and theatre, although with declining attendance. By the 1970s the Levoy was a second run movie theatre in serious disrepair and was closed for safety reasons in 1974. In the mid-1980s several apartments were built on the second floor.
In 1995, local interest in preserving and restoring the theatre led to the creation of the Levoy Theatre Preservation Society. Today’s Levoy Theatre is state-of-the-art featuring high level productions and movie presentations.
