Located at 37 North Main Street is Winchester, the Leeds is now an arts center. From the below website we learn:
The theater opened on May 12, 1925 with the movie, "The Crowded House," staring Bebe Daniels. Admission prices were 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children in the afternoons. Leeds, is presumed to be an arrangement of the letters in the name of S.D. Lee, who was president of the Winchester Amusement Company, which owned the theatre at the time. In 1986, The Winchester Council for the Arts was formed with the goal of saving the theatre. Renovation was completed by December 1990.
