Paramount Theatre

The Paramount Theatre is a cinema and performance venue in Rutland featuring Colonial Revival elements and Victorian interior decoration. The building sits on Center Street with a classical exterior and ornate interior spaces.

The venue was built in 1913 by George T. Chaffee as a playhouse and received its current name in 1931. After closure in 1977, community efforts restored the building, allowing it to reopen in 2000.

The theater serves today as an important venue for the city, attracting visitors with various performances and shows. The stage remains active in the community's cultural life and brings people together.

The building is easy to locate on Center Street and visitors can enter during performances and events. It helps to check ahead about current programs and opening times, as these vary by season.

The building was restored through grassroots support from residents after nearly two decades of closure. This local initiative gave an important architectural landmark a second chance at life.
