Opened in 1932, the Paramount was the last of the great movie palaces erected on downtown Boston's Washington Street, and the only one built exclusively for talking pictures. It has been closed since 1976, and much of its interior detail was lost during asbestos removal in the 1980s.
In 2002, Millennium Partners painstakingly restored the Paramount's facade, marquee, and vertical sign. Millennium agreed to do this in exchange for city approval of their adjacent Ritz-Carlton Towers project. The sign is occasionally lit up at night, and is a glorious sight to see.
