Summary

Located in the downtown commercial area of Norfolk, the Grand Theater is an excellent example of the evolution of early entertainment in Norfolk and as a "transitional" theater built specifically for showing movies, but also accommodating some live performances. It is also associated with a period of dramatic growth in the city, contributing to entertainment history in this regional trade center for northeast Nebraska. The theater was the city's first permanent or "purpose-built" movie theater when constructed in 1920.
