The Glen Theater (Watkins Glen, NY)

 

The Glen Theater (June 2021)

Opened in 1924 and in operation well into the twenty-first century. The building next door was acquired for a second screen relatively recently. According to local sources, the cinema closed in 2019. When I visited in June 2021, it did not look permanently closed. But in the aftermath of the pandemic, it is difficult to discern what might happen.

The theater, which is just a few blocks from Seneca Lake, appears not to have been affected by the devastating fire that destroyed nearly half of the business district of the village in January 1934.
