The Westwood Theater opened in 1917 as the Rex, showing silent films and hosting Vaudeville shows.
In 1935 the Rex was remodeled and renamed the Romance and began showing 'talkies' (movies with sound).
In 1976, following extensive damage by the Teton Dam flood disaster, the theater was sold, again remodeled and renamed the Westwood. Carmike Cinemas bought the Westwood in 1998 and ran the movie house until it closed March 29, 2001.
