The Plaza Theatre was a small single screen theatre located on the corner of Market Street and W. 3rd Street. A conversion of a former grocery store, The Plaza Theatre opened on November 6, 1946 with Dorothy Lamour in “Aloma of the South Seas”. The quaint little building has a curved roof at the front with a red shale roofing. The building was painted white and on the second floor there are three arched windows trimmed in red to match the tile roof. The theatre was still being used in 1973. It is now an antique store.

From 1986 a photo of the Plaza Theatre in Baird Texas.
The New Plaza Theatre was a re-imagining of an existing 1884 landmark H. Schwartz Dry Goods Store building by C.D. Leon Theaters. The Spanish Colonial building opened on November 6, 1946 and its first film was “Aloma of South Seas.” A blue and buff lobby entered into an auditorium bathed in brown and red. They advertised “The Concert for Bangladesh” on June 16, 1973 and no more after that. Likely they continued but there is no advertising to go by.
