The Richmond Theatre opened in the 1940's as a single screen, then was triplexed in the 1980's under Loews ownership. The theatre closed in the early 1990's. A DSW Shoe Warehouse store occupies the site now, with the marquee being used to identify the shoe store.

Loews bought the local Community Circuit chain, which included this theatre along with the Riverside, Village, Berea and Showplace theatres. This was an orchestra only, no balcony or stadium, in an art-deco style. The auditorium ceiling was sculptured plaster and had purple neon cove lighting. It had been well taken care of by the previous owner. When they triplexed the Richmond it actually didn't look too bad, it retained a lot of it's original character. They put two theatres in the back half of the auditorium with 10 or 15 foot wide passageway between them that accessed the third theatre which was the front half of the original auditorium, full width, with the stage left intact.

The shoe store that occupies the Richmond Theater has closed. The building is now vacant.

As of this week, a fence has been erected around the perimeter of the property, and all storefronts have been cleared Bobcat-style. The auditorium has an open section of its west wall, obscured by plastic sheeting, and construction equipment is on site. It doesn't, unfortunately, look like a renovation, and if it is, it's one where the end result is a shell.

Theater has been down for some months now -- clearing was to create a parking lot and visibility from Mayfield Road for an Aldi's grocery store erected at the rear of the property. Store opened in August/September 2009.

The header needs to be updated to closed/demolished
