The Lafayette Theater, established in 1924 and designed by architect Eugene DeRosa, is a charming single-screen movie palace that retains its historical ambiance. Initially equipped with a custom Muller organ for silent films, it now features the Ben Hall Memorial Mighty Wurlitzer, installed in the late 1980s. Visitors appreciate the theater's beautiful period details, including balconies and an ornamental ceiling, which enhance the viewing experience for both classic films like "Casablanca" and new releases. The theater is known for its helpful staff and good parking, making it a beloved destination in Rockland. While some guests enjoy the atmosphere, others have mentioned distractions from children during screenings and the popcorn quality. Overall, the Lafayette Theater stands out as a unique and nostalgic venue for film lovers.
