Grand Theatre

Otero County

Constructed in 1935, the Grand Theatre is important for its long term use as a local entertainment center and for its ability to convey changes in movie theater design.

Its modernized facade, neon marquee, and portions of the lobby area date from 1950, while much of the original 1935 Art Deco interior detailing remains intact.
