Paramount Arts Center
Paramount Arts Center, Art Deco theater in Ashland, Kentucky, United States.
The Paramount Arts Center features geometric shapes, ornate details, and decorative elements across its exterior and interior architectural design at 1300 Winchester Avenue.
Built in 1931 by architects Rapp and Rapp, the theater served as a model for other venues showcasing Paramount Pictures films before closing in 1971.
The theater hosts Broadway productions, symphonies, ballets, and community events, making it a central performance venue in eastern Kentucky.
The renovated facility includes modern stage equipment, dressing rooms, rehearsal spaces, and a banquet area for various types of performances and gatherings.
A local legend tells of a ghost named Joe, a construction worker who died during renovations, with a signed photo from Billy Ray Cyrus hanging in his honor.
