Built in 1922 as a theater, the Wellmont Theater was converted into a motion picture theater in 1929 and saw the likes of famous inventor Thomas Edison as one of its haloed guests. Initially opening onto Bloomfield Avenue and later Seymour Street, the theater was triplexed in the 70s, and the original lobby is now a restaurant.

The Wellmont Theatre went through a multi-million dollar renovation and is now a popular concert venue with new bars in the orchestra and mezzanine areas, flexible seating, and a dance floor. The Wellmont Theater has a seating capacity of 2,600 for standing shows and is the largest venue in the area.
