The Lyric was built in 1925, and closed on September 7, 2007. Large crowds were in attendance for the final shows. The city is looking for reuse plans and the Lyric is for sale.

New photos of the interior of the Lyric Cinemas can be seen at http://www.waterwinterwonderland.com/location.asp?ID=1024&type=5 which shows the carved up cinema treasure 4-plex being used as church. The church took down the wall separating cinemas 2 and 3 to create a sanctuary. The original ceiling was exposed when the tiles on the drop ceiling were removed which shows that the theater is restorable. A news story telling the history of the theater is at http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:oXbpsw8soR4J:www.ludingtondailynews.com/news.php%3Fstory_id%3D38068+lyric+%2B+%22ludington+mi%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=6&gl=us from The Ludington Daily News.
