The theater at 1116 Broadway Street was originally to have been called the Ritz, according to an article in the August 13, 1933 issue of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. Remodeling of the existing building, with plans by architect S. B. Haynes (Sylvan Blum Haynes), would get underway within a few days and the project was expected to take about thirty days to completion.

The Broadway was converted to two department stores after it closed—Skibell’s of Lubbock and S & Q Clothiers, both upscale stores that were open for many years. They’re gone now, however, but the building remains.

In this photo you can see the marquee of the Broadway. This is a digital photo of a very large wall-sized photo of downtown Lubbock found in the Museum of Texas Tech.
