Strand Theatre was a historic theater located at Ithaca in Tompkins County, New York. It was built in 1916-1917 in the Tudor Revival style.
After Ithaca's Lyceum Theater closed in 1927, the Strand became Ithaca's main venue for touring theater companies.[2] After 1950, the theater switched to showing only films.[2] The theater closed in 1976 due to a leaky roof and deteriorated heating system, then re-opened in 1979 for live performances.[2]
In 1981 the owners attempted to secure grants to renovate the building and pay huge outstanding debts.[3]
The theater closed permanently in 1982[2] and was demolished in 1993.[4]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and delisted in 1999.[1]
