The State Theater has been quiet for a few years now but continues to stand sentinel over Point Pleasant, West Virginia’s historic downtown.

The sign says it has sold and I noticed the realtor had promoted it as a historic site, ripe for preservation. I hope the new owners do something amazing with it.

Built in the forties, this Art Moderne theater still has its fabulous marquee, box office and absolutely gorgeous front doors. What I wouldn’t give to see inside since the exterior is so fantastic.

Here’s hoping the new owners light that sign again and invite the community back for a slice of culture and entertainment.
