The building at 163-169 Main Street in Seymour was built in 1921 and was originally called the Donavan Building. Its front marquee was added c. 1941 when the Stand Theater opened. It later became a second-run theater and is one of Connecticut’s few remaining single-screen movie houses. Its Art Deco interior was restored in the 1990s. The building is owned by the Knights of Columbus.
Strand Theater, Seymour (1921)
I have an old record with the Marquee of Strand Theatre on the front cover. Its on Radiola Hollywood is in the Air. The Label was located in Sandy Hook in the 1970s. I am trying to determine if this is in Sandy Hook. Can I send a pic?
Jeff,
I’m not really familiar enough with this theater to be able to advise you on this. Perhaps there is a group on Facebook that could help you out, like the Newtown Neighborhood Unite group?
