Placed on the National Register of Historic Places, this 1938 theatre is
a wonderful architectural example of the later phase of the Art Deco
movement. Formally called
the Hollywood Theater, this structure entertained the public on its silver
screen for nearly forty years. Donated to the city by Durwood, Inc.,
former owners,
in 1977, this theater now hosts live performances by Leavenworth's River City
Community Players.
