Capital Theatre

Capital Theatre is a movie house in Ely featuring Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, with decorative details throughout its exterior and interior spaces. The building combines its original structural elements with modern cinema facilities for current operations.

The theater was built during an era when movie houses served as primary entertainment venues in small American towns. Its listing on the National Register of Historic Places confirms its significance in the nation's cultural development.

The theater has functioned as a gathering place where the community comes together for both film screenings and live performances by visiting artists. It remains the kind of venue where locals still gather to share entertainment experiences.

Visitors should check ahead for current showtimes and any special events or live performances scheduled. The building is accessible and located conveniently within the downtown area.

The building preserves its original facade from an earlier era of American cinema architecture that has largely disappeared elsewhere. This intact preservation makes it a rare example of that period's theater design still standing in the region.
