History
The buildings history dates back to 1897 when it was first used as stables. It wasn't until 1949 when Fine Arts Theatre Place first opened and became one of the highest grossing Walt Disney houses in the country in the 1950s and 1960s. As the 20th century came to a close, competition from movie megaplexes hurt attendance and sales at small theatres, and Fine Arts Theatre Place fell into disrepair. It closed in 2012 before it was sold to local businessman and native of Sudbury, Steve Trumble. Steve had been coming to Fine Arts Theatre Place since he was 12 and committed to restoring the theatre. It took almost 2 years to fully restore and was reopened in November of 2014.
