Strand theater, Sanborn map depiction (1949)

One of several neighborhood theaters in the Elizabethport section of Elizabeth. The theater was operating prior to 1930, was still listed as opened in the 1949 Motion Picture and appears on the 1949 Sanborn fire insurance map of Elizabeth (see picture). It was closed and demolished sometime between 1950 and 1952 to make way for the New Jersey Turnpike.

No trace of the theater’s existence is to be found today, as it’s location is now the Elizabeth Avenue underpass of the New Jersey Turnpike.
