The Colonial Drive-In opened in 1955 with a capacity for 700 cars. Opening day movie was “Pete Kelly’s Blues” starring Jack Webb. The Colonial closed around 1967 and has been demolished. This drive-in has been replaced by a shopping center.

An article about the Colonial Drive-In appeared in the February 4, 1956, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. The architect was Jack K. Vogel. It was the first drive-in in Annapolis, and was built for Durkee Enterprises.
This page has some nice photos of the drive-in, including the marquee:
