Description
The Strand Theater opened in Key West in the early 1920s. Almost a century ago, it sat 800 people, offering southern Floridians a look at silent films and the latest talking pictures of the day. It operated well into the 1980's, losing out to home theaters and movies complexes. It later became the home of the Ripleys Believe It Or Not Odditorium in 1993. The theater was then sold in December 2001 and closed in April 2002. It has since become a branch of the Walgreens pharmacy empire.
Many of the historic elements of the theater were saved and remain as in the original structure, including its facade, marquee, various aspects of the interior, the lobby tile, marble stairs, and its wodden floors.
