About Temple Theatre:
Built in 1918 by the Masonic Lodge, Temple Theatre has run almost continuously since 1918. It is the quintessential small town theater, resting on the north side of Market Square. The theater has been modernized with new cinema seating, sound systems, carpeting, paint and paper. Every opportunity to save original fixtures was taken; this is evident in the lobby lighting fixtures, interior stained glass and
woodwork.
The building itself:
–A grand three-story structure
— In 2014, theater went through full conversion to modern digital projection and state of the art digital sound with all new speakers, sound, and servers
–Valued at over $200K
