The Park Theatre, in the Allington section of West Haven, is right across a green from the Forest Theatre. Although the Park Theatre closed down around 1943 its name is still etched above what must have been the entrance to its lobby. That space now houses a clothing shop. I do not know for what the former auditorium is used.

The current storefronts are a barber, package store, Cosmetology Academy and an Indian restaurant. On the right side in the back is a small garage door, maybe from another use when it closed.

In the rear, it's apparent that the current stucco was just spackled on carelessly as it's chipping off everywhere to expose the original brickwork underneath.
