Lamar Theatre

Located in downtown Lamar, Colorado, the Lamar Theatre opened its doors on November 15th, 1946, as a single screen, 832-seat "High Art Deco" theatre. It was designed by the prominent Denver architect Charles Dunwoody Strong. The exuberant curved Art Deco forms of the colorfully lit facade and marquee beckon the visitor into a well preserved large-screen theatre for a classic night at the movies. Theatre-goers are captivated by the fluid forms of the colorful interior murals, recessed neon lighting, chrome details, mirrors, curved wall edges, and rounded corners, which are signature elements of Art Deco theatre design.
