*The
Arcadia Theater opened May 5, 1921 and is located on Graham
Ave., in Windber. It was designed by Henry Reinhold and
Ralph L. Land architects from Philadelphia. The theater has
been remodeled to feature present day technology to control
both the sound and light systems. Although remodeled with
current day technology it still resembles the theater as it
was in 1921. -
