Grand Theatre

     Electra's population surge in the 1910s led
local business leaders to hire Meadow &
Wolfe of Fort Worth to design a theatre to
accommodate the town's growing
entertainment needs. It opened here in 1920
and featured vaudeville, operas, boxing and
other events. It included an orchestra pit
which later housed an organ and piano for
silent movies. It has been both a movie house
and performing arts venue. The Grand's 
eclectic design features mission and 
classical elements done with emphasis on
fancy and fantasy. Panels with swags and
piers frame a vault motif.
