The Silco Theater

The Silco Theater was built in 1923, and served Silver City for many years as a performance and movie theater. It was bought and remodeled by Union Furniture in the mid-1960s, then later became the Silco Mini-Mall. The Woodhall family bought the building in 1998. They started converting it back into a theater by replacing the roof, opening up the performance hall, and installing historic lighting. The building was bought again in 2002 by Repeat Boutique.

In January 2006, Silver City MainStreet Project re-opened the theater as a facility for events and meetings. A lobby and performance space were re-created, with removable theater seats, customizable stage platforms, projection screens, and a sound system.

The Silver City MainStreet Project is currently raising funds to renovate the Silco Theater into a movie theater.
