Belmont Theater 1958

The 1000 seat Belmont Theater opened on Christmas Day in 1946. The new $200,000 theater had taken almost two years to build, but many thought that it was worth the wait. It later became the Cinema East. The theater was destroyed by a fire in the early hours of June 5, 1973. Photograph courtesy of Hankster65.
