Lake Theatre

The Lake Theatre was opened in 1927. There was a ballroom over the front entrance. It was operated by the Schine Circuit and they closed in on November 25, 1956 with Mickey Rooney in “Francis in the Haunted House” & Lori Nelson in “Hot Rod Girls.

It became a church for two years. In 1960 became a furniture & appliance store. In 2015 the stone pediment on the top of the building which contained the ‘Lake’ name, fell off the building.

The Lake Theatre opened in 1927 on a 30-year lease. Schine Circuit closed after a double feature on November 25, 1956 of “Francis and the Haunted House” and “Hot Rod Girls” at the end of the lease. After a two-year run as a church, the theatre was converted into a long-running furniture store that existed into the 21st Century. In 2015, the Lake Theatre fell off the furniture store’s facade.
