🎬 The Isis Theater — A West Asheville Memory

The Isis Theater first opened its doors on March 19, 1937, bringing the excitement and magic of the movies to West Asheville.

Designed by architect Albert H. Carrier in the Art Deco style, popular during the era, the theater was a beautiful addition to Haywood Road and quickly became part of the neighborhood’s story.

During the golden age of cinema, going to the movies was more than simply watching a film—it was an experience. In its early years, the Isis had a single large screen, as most theaters did at the time, along with comfortable seating that made moviegoers feel completely immersed in the world unfolding before them.
