Originally built as a vaudeville house in the late 1890s, the Columbia Theatre was redesigned as a movie house in the mid-1930s and renamed the Capitol Theatre. Presenting movies for more than three decades, the Capitol Theatre closed its doors in 1967. After sitting vacant for more than 10 years, the building was purchased in 1977 by a visionary group of citizens formerly known as the Bowling Green-Warren County Arts Commission. Following a $1.3 million renovation project, the Capitol Arts Center opened its doors to the community in September 1981.
