Description
The Luseland Theatre is a Municipal Heritage Property located in the Town of Luseland. The property features a single storey, wood-frame building located on Grande Avenue completed in 1921.
Heritage value
The heritage value of the Luseland Theatre resides in its association with the community. Completed in 1921 as a cooperative venture, Luseland’s first theatre quickly became an important gathering place for this rural community. Beyond the entrance foyer lies a large room with a high ceiling and a raised stage opposite the door. Dances, theatrical performances, parties and other gatherings have been held in the large open room. The gallery opposite the stage incorporates a projection booth.
The façade demonstrates a slight Spanish Revival influence, typical of theatres constructed in the 1920s. This architectural style exudes the modernity of the theatrical enterprise.
