Restoration of the historic Pastime Theatre was the first major project undertaken by Winfield Main Street. Bob Henger, former administrator of Carraway Northwest (now Northwest Medical Center) is credited with having the vision to restore this old historic building. The theatre was built in 1937 by local laborers Elwood Smith, Sim Tidwell and Little Boy Tidwell; carpenters Arlon Trull, S. Trull and Radburg Bryant; and brick masons Penny Trull and Al Smith. The theatre opened in 1938 as a movie theatre with a stage large enough for vaudeville productions. The theatre was owned by Mr. and Mrs. George T. Thornton and daughter Glenera R. Horn and her husband R. J. Horn. In 1965 Jack Lane and Frances Borders purchased and operated the theatre through the 1970’s. It reopened under different management for a short period in the 1980’s, but closed permanently in the mid ‘80’s. The A. P. Seals family purchased the building in 1993, and it sat vacant until purchased by Main Street in late 2000.

The theatre was very dilapidated and was literally home to the pigeons. Under the direction of Bob Henger, the first phase of the restoration included roof, floors, walls, ceiling, electrical, plumbing, and heating and air conditioning. Layers of paint on the front of the building were stripped down to the original yellow glazed brick.
