The Majestic Theatre building was built by the Mt Penn fire company in 1923 and consisted of an auditorium, social hall and space for the fire company engines. In 1939 the auditorium was converted to show motion pictures.
“The Majestic Theatre closed sometime around 1978 or 1979. I believe that one of its last films was the original "Star Wars”. "
Wow I didn’t know that nice movie to end a good Theatre.
