Colonial Theatre

Located in the heart of town, the Colonial Theatre was the only cinema for miles around until the late-1940’s when it was operated by the Liggett-Florin Booking Service until at least 1957. When the larger and better equipped Monroe Theatre opened in town it was ironic that the exterior of the new Monroe Theatre was in Colonial American style, which caused much confusion until the Colonial Theatre closed from the competition.

The Colonial Theatre went over to retail use, and by 2018 is a dance studio.

Address should read Lakes St (not Lake St). From Google maps, it’s rather confusing. Going east through downtown you pass by #18, then #20, then #15, then #21 and #23. Between 21 and 23 is early 1950s vintage 1 floor retail buildings. Around #20, is a small building saying (Town of Monroe, John DeAngelis Hall) which looks too small to be a former cinema. Across the street are a couple larger buildings, one of which from the air looks like a former cinema. It’s dark red brick, currently retail. Not sure which was the former Colonial Theatre.
