The Grand Theater in Norfolk in Madison County, Nebraska was built in 1920, had a seating capacity of 1,081, and cost about $80,000 to construct. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1] It was the city of Norfolk's first purpose-built movie theater when constructed in 1920.[2] The theater was closed during 1930–34, perhaps as result of the 1927 opening of the opulent Granada Theater, with an auditorium seating 1,100.[2] The theater was available for sale in February 2017.
