Having a friend who was projectionist here, I visited the projection room rather frequently during the early 60s. I remember its interior fairly well.
Oops! I forgot to mention that the parking garage for the convention center now occupies this site.
Reopened as the Ohio Follies on April 6th, 1962 on an adult film policy. Ad in photo section.
