The Chateau Theatre was built in 1927 at a cost of more than $200,000 and was, in its hey day, a unique movie house. The exterior sunburst design marquee is lit with 636 light bulbs. The interior is decorated with medieval turrets and the ceiling as a night sky. In 1994, Chateau was refurbished and is now a Barnes and Noble bookstore.
