Welcome to The Paramount.  It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Paramount is an excellent example of the art deco motion picture palaces built in the late 1920's and early 30's. The restoration retained the Paramount's opulent, richly embellished interior. The original Venetian-styled murals and the art deco ambience were faithfully recreated. The auditorium holds 756.          I got this info. from the paramountcenter.com. :))) We were in there watching "Chris Thomas King" during The Bristol Rhythm and Roots here in VA in Sept. 2011. :)))))))
