This theater sat directly across from the Lubbock County courthouse. It is on an alley way that still exists. The building which sits there now very likely could be the same same structure with complete re-skinning. It’s a group of law offices now.
The opposite end of the alley would have found the back of the very large Lindsey Theater which has now been demolished.
