The Holland is the nation’s only Dutch-themed atmospheric theater built in 1931 and designed by Peter Hulsken, a Dutch immigrant to Lima, Ohio. Construction was completed by the Hossler Brothers of Tiffin, Ohio for the cost of $150,000. The exterior has a Flemish-style stepped-gable facade and uses Dutch cross bond brick. The theater contains 17th-century Dutch architecture that lines both interior sidewalls and including windmills that slowly turn -- modeled after the architect's hometown of Arnhem, Holland. The building had fallen into disrepair in the 1990's and a multi-million dollar restoration was completed in 2019. Theater staff are delighted to once again open the doors of the Holland in its original glory — complete with moving windmills, candlelit windows in Dutch-style building facades, and a sky ceiling with twinkling stars and gentle rolling clouds.
