There is an old bronze plaque on the office building portion of this edifice that says, “Bergen Theatre Building.” The theatre was almost certainly built during the 1930s. I went there many times in the 1970s as a kid for their 99 cent Saturday matinees. There was a small “grand staircase” with a large mirrored wall on the side of it. Above the foyer was an upstairs lounge (where the coffee was served) next to the projection booth. The door to the booth was usually open. It was a nice little cinema and well remembered.
