Colonial Theater (Skaneateles, NY)

 

Legg Hall was a portion of the second floor that was added to the existing building in 1868. It was used for traveling shows, local productions, basketball games, as well as for roller skating. As silent films became more popular across the country, the space became known as the Huxford Theater the 1910s. In 1940 or 1941, the theater changed its name to the Colonial and a new marquee was installed. After the Colonial was closed in 1977, the second floor was converted to condominiums and the marquee was removed. Today, the building look much like it did in the 1940s, although the façade of the building is somewhat obscured by the trees that line the sidewalk.
