The Centre Theatre is the only independently-operated indoor movie theater in Peterborough, opening on March 2, 1939 with John Barrymore in “The Great Man Votes” and Gene Raymond in “There Goes My Girl” (unknown if extras added). It housed 602 seats, with 400 in the main auditorium and 202 in the balcony.

The Centre Theatre closed for the final time on August 18, 1956 because of the lack of business and immediately went up for sale.
