Description

The Fountain Square Theatre Building opened in 1928, and contains entertainment venues, shops, and professional offices. The historic building was once an integral part of the neighborhood in which it is located, as it had more theaters than any other city sector during the era from 1910 to 1950. The building fell into disrepair in the 1960s and 1970s, but was renovated in the 1990s. Today this historic building contains various businesses, including three restaurants, an inn, an historic theater, and eight lanes of duckpin bowling. It is also regularly used as a meeting and event space, and features banquet and meeting rooms for groups ranging in size from 10 to up to 400 people.
