Union Hall

This building was built to be a theater and was originally called the Grand Theatre. It opened in 1918 and was one of the most innovative theaters in town and managed to survive by bringing in acts like the "Frisco Frolics," featuring four male comedians and ten chorus girls. Each week they held an amateur vaudeville night. In July 1936, the Grand was destroyed by fire. Within a couple months of the fire, Frank Keyes announced that he would build a new, modern Grand Theatre that would hold 850 people. The new brick building even included a cry room for mothers with children. By 1940, the Grand was one of the three theaters left in town: the Grand, the Border, and the Falls.
