Moments Project – The Latchis Hotel and Theater

The Latchis Memorial Building (1938)

The Latchis had a stormy start. Its planned September 22 Grand Opening was delayed when the Hurricane of 1938 barreled through town, causing widespread damage. One day later, the Latchis Memorial Building opened to great fanfare on September 23, 1938, drawing a crowd of 1,200. Crowds have flocked here ever since.

The Latchis Memorial Building was built to honor family patriarch Demetrios Latchis after his death in 1932. The building’s Art Deco style – rare in Vermont – and Greek-themed décor to honor the Latchis Family’s roots create the unique fusion we call Greco-Deco.
Conceived in 1938 as “a Town within a Town – All Under One Roof,” the Latchis today houses a grand Greco-Deco Main Theatre, three smaller theater spaces, a 30-room hotel, a pub & restaurant, retail and studio spaces – a hub for culture, hospitality and business.
