History

The Lyric Theater opened on April 8, 1917, and was on the Keith Vaudeville circuit for many years. It was renamed the Ritz Theater in October 1928, and later became a movie theater until its closing in the late 1960s. It was slated for demolition when it was acquired in 1982 by a local family and fully renovated at a cost of $1.1 million for its current office use. A variety of modern improvements are underway since the building’s most recent acquisition in 2024.

The Lyric Theater is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The renovation received recognition for innovative development from the American Planning Association.
