Fulton Theater

Photos of the Fulton Theater can be seen here.

Here is a 1947 photo. According to that site the Fulton Theater was demolished in 1988.

The Fulton became a bowling alley and in the 1960s the Stardust Ballroom. In 1983 it returned to use as a theater (Cine Colonial) that showed movies from Mexico - catering to the largely Hispanic neighborhood in which it was located - and when Clemente Martinez Elementary School was built in the late 1980s the theater was demolished to form part of the schoolyard.

The Fulton was one of several post-war Houston theaters designed for the Interstate Circuit by H.F. Pettigrew and John A. Worley of the Dallas firm of Pettigrew & Worley.

The Fulton opened on September 26, 1947. The premier feature was “Fun on a Weekend” with Eddie Bracken and Priscilla Lane.

Some 1983 and 1984 photos of the Colonial/Fulton Theatre.
