Constructed 1935.

Built in 1935, this old white front Art Deco theatre is still in operation. Single screen, seating a little under 700. The theatre has a squared marquee with no attraction panels but has a good sized vertical in all red like the marquee with white neon lettering spelling out Odeon. The Odeon plays first run attractions. It was listed on the Register of Historic Places in 2008. Due to the owner retiring, the Odeon Theatre was put up “For Sale” in the fall of 2010. It was reopened under new owners on April 29, 2014. Contributed by Chuck Van Bibber
