History
The West Theater was designed and constructed as an automobile dealership in 1924-1925, and was converted to a single-screen cinema in 1941.[2] After being vacant for years, the building and adjoining properties were purchased and restored in 2018 and renamed The Tarlton Theatre, for Green Bay businessman and co-owner Tarlton Knight.[3]
