A Rare Opportunity to Own and Shape a Historic Theater in the Berkshires
  • $870,000

Description

Several years ago, our ownership group had the opportunity to help bring a 101-year-old theater back to life and return it to the center of its community. Now, we’re ready to hand it off to its next steward.

Located in Northwest Connecticut, in the Southern Berkshires cultural corridor, this is far more than a movie theater. It is a multi-use gathering space with multiple revenue streams and tremendous opportunity for someone who values history, creativity, and community.

The property includes a historic single-screen theater with a small stage suitable for film, live performances, speakers, and special events.

Upstairs is a remarkable ballroom that was thoughtfully converted into a second screening room while still maintaining much of its original ballroom grandeur. It can continue to function as an intimate cinema space or be utilized for private parties, community gatherings, receptions, classes, and yes—even dancing.

The building also includes two Main Street-facing retail spaces, both currently occupied by tenants, creating additional income and opportunities for future complementary businesses.

Adjacent to the theater is a separately owned commercial lot currently used for parking, adding flexibility and long-term optionality for future development or expansion.

This could become an arthouse cinema, a film society home base, an event venue, a nonprofit cultural institution, or simply an incredible second-act project for someone looking to build something meaningful.

We aren’t simply selling a building. We’re looking for the next steward of a place that has mattered to its community for over a century.

Here is a link to the MLS listing which includes a full gallery of photos and videos.

Serious inquiries are welcome.
