About This Property

Architecturally important, this building was designed by the famous architect, Alfred C. Finn, in the early 20th century Classic Revival style. It was plush and popular in its time, with an upstairs ballroom used for events. The lower floor had a lobby, retail space, a vaudeville stage and movie theater with seating for 739 including the balcony. The handsome Simon Theatre now serves the community again as an entertainment and event venue.
