Not sure if Oscar Cobb was the original architect. I found a book at the local library that said he restored the Myers in 1891. The Myers was built in 1870. Not sure yet, I’m just getting back into researching in my new area of southern Wisconsin. Based in Beloit Wis. now…
I just donated all of research on the Fox Theater and other other local theater to the University Archives.
It will eventually be open to the general public. (They are refilling it into folders so it could take awhile.)
On January 10, 1965 there was a boom threat was phoned in during a movie at the Fox. The building was evacuated; it turned out to be a hoax. (Stevens Point Daily Journal January 12, 1956 page 4)
The drive-in was operating in 1977, the drive-in closed for the season on November 13, 1977. The last movies for that season were “Maniac†and “Cannonballâ€.

Is there 2 different groups trying to save the Midway?
