Wheaton Grand Theater- Explore # 241 8-19-2019 - Wheaton IL

            The historic Wheaton Grand Theatre opened in 1925 originally hosting live drama, silent films, and vaudeville performances and seating 1000 patrons. The venue was also known as the Paramount Theatre and The Wheaton Theatre at various times throughout its history.  Beginning in the late 1990s, it was used for second-run movies, and as a small concert hall for rock and roll bands.
The theater was donated to the not-for-profit Grand Theater Corporation in October of 2001.
National Register of Historic Places
In the fall of 2005, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In 2006 the site was closed for a hoped-for full renovation of the property, but unfortunately the project had many ups and downs.
In 2010 a production of the Jersey Boys raised some funds for the theater project.  In spite of this success however, on July 10, 2010 the owners surrendered the property to its mortgage holder, Suburban Bank & Trust of Elmhurst.  The building has since been vacant and fallen into disrepair.
