The Victor Theatre was opened on March 31, 1914 and was designed by the Boller Brothers seating 322. On June 20, 1930 it was renamed Paramount Theatre and was operated by Commonwealth Amusement by 1941 and was remodeled on December 6, 1946. Commonwealth continued to operate it until at least 1950.
The theatre was located on the corner so it had a corner entrance with the box office to the right side. There is a small lobby and concession area with one aisle leading into the auditorium. Some attractive plaster work lines the ceiling corners of both the lobby and the auditorium. The Paramount Theatre remained open, serving the small town of Rock Port until the mid-2000’s.
It had been demolished by 2020.
