With much splendor, the 20th Century Theater opened on Aug 1, 1941. Owner Willis Vance selected the 20th Century Fox Production “Blood and Sand” as the premiere.

Left to the elements, 9 years of neglect, vandalism, and water leaks exacted a large toll on the once glorious theater. Over the next 5 years, community members argued between demolishing or restoring the historic theatre.

In early 1990, an entrepreneur named Mike Belmont purchased the building with the intent of changing the use to retail. The restoration was massive and the building reopened in 1991 as Belmont’s Floor Company.

This lasted a full year before the business was moved to another location in Oakley. At that point the Cincinnati Church of Christ moved in and occupied the space for approximately 4 years.

On October 23, 1997, 20th Century Productions was born, focusing on Special Concert Events and Private functions.
