Folly Theater
Opened in 1900 as the Standard it was a showplace for the preforming arts featuring the likes of the Marx Brothers and other vaudville and berlesque performers. In 1941, after being closed of almost a decade, it was re-opened as the Folly Theater. In 1973 it again closed and was going to be torn down for a parking lot but thanks to the efforts of Joan Dillion and William Deramus III a delay ordinance was passed. Following extensive remodeling and restoration it was again re-opened in 1981. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places and protected.
