It's hard to imagine the Paramount Theatre in downtown St. Cloud looking any different than it does now, but it actually underwent a major renovation back in the 1990s.
The Paramount Theatre in downtown St. Cloud is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. A former employee, Margaret Lengas, shares her memories from her time working there when it was still a movie theater from 1978 until it closed in 1983.
The work continues on a new sculpture coming to downtown St. Cloud. The artistic work is part of the year-long celebration honoring the 100th anniversary of the Paramount Theater.
The man who designed the iconic Paramount Theatre left quite a legacy in downtown St. Cloud. Architect Leo W. Schaefer is responsible for the creation of several of our historic buildings.
