The Criterion Theatre first opened its doors on June 6, 1932, and has served the town of Bar Harbor, Maine, as a movie palace ever since. The theater has 877 seats. The location has been placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.
A unique, special feature of the building is its "floating" balcony, a type of rare free-hanging structure, which is an architectural feat of some note.
The above two photographs of the Criterion Theatre were taken by Sue Anne Hodges, and used with her permission. (For a link to her photography site, please click here.)
Sue Anne Hodges has also published internal photos (below) of the Criterion on her blog.
