The Strand opened its doors on June 12, 1915 as a vaudeville theater. With the impending rise of cinema, the building soon played host to a movie theater. In the 1970s, it apparently morphed into an adult theater not surprising considering the state of Downcity at that point in time: “During the 1970s…Downtown was known mainly for its collection of porn shops, strip clubs, and dive bars”. As the city’s image improved in the 1990s, the Strand reopened as a home for live music establishing it as a potential candidate to house the soon to be Lupo’s at The Strand.
