    Here's some history on that theater.
    It opened in 1886, and when it was opened it was seen as a staple to Newark. When it opened it went under the name H.C Miner's Newark Theater. Hyde & Behman Amusement Co being the ones who managed it.
    In 1916 management switched to one of Edward Speigel who also owned nearby Strand Theater. Speigel put renovations of the theater into the hands of Thomas W. Lamb, and when the renovations were finished in 1930 the theater was renamed to Paramount.
    The theater saw it's final years in 1986, it closed due to skyrocketing insurance rates.
    (And yeah, I lnow Jamie shared the info on his blog, just felt like restating it here).

    Wow I definitely remember the red seats and coming with older family friends to watch karate flicks all day on Saturday. I also remember seeing Poltergeist, The Toy with Richard Pryor, and Sparkle with Irene Cara. Newark had so many theaters bit the only ones I remember were this Paramount, the Adam’s, and the Branford.

    This place is so cool. I can only imagine the history it holds. I think standing where the seats are and looking around into the open would be pretty surreal feeling lol

      Hi Jamie
      This was a cool explore but I was worried about you and Dave’s safety. You guy’s take big chances going
      to places like this. It must have been a nice theater in its time. Those seats have seen better days. This
      was a cool epic adventure. Please be careful in these dangerous places. Stay safe and well. See you in
      the next epic adventure.👍🆒. I’m glad the cops👮‍♂️didn’t see you guy’s in there.

    That place was crazy! That would have been an adrenaline rush just walking around there hoping that you didn’t have a floor give out or wall come down. Hope that you didn’t get into any asbestos. Thank you RR for another most epic adventure.

    the ceiling by the projection box has dropped some and looks like next to fall.. it was a clear line of sight to the stage at one time. that is why it looks so strange on the view to the stage..
