The theater building is still there as I saw it in September, 2023 on a trip to Charleston. The theater was owned by the Aaron family who also owned the Sunset Theater which preceeded the West and was just a few doors up the street from the West. When the West opened, the Sunset was closed as the West was the replacement for the Sunset. The West Theater also had a bowling alley underneath it.
