During its final years of operation, the Delmar screened X-rated films.

screen is now gone and entrance had on light left to show entrance. Concession and projection room are still there , but have been converted for other business use. Stopped by in March 2012 and property was forsale and vacant.

NOT Demolished. Only the screen is gone. It’s pad and mounting flanges are still there. The marquee, double winged ticket booth and booth/concession stand are all intact and Lavender! Ticket booth and concession stand are surprisingly sound, with just a little roof leakage into concessions (to be expected). Within the projection booth still mounted on the wall, a National Theatre Supply Transverter, part # D-100-3. Googles addresses are jacked up. Best I can figure address for this place is 36922 Bi State BLVD, Delmar, DE 19940. If you wanna see it on Google maps, put in the address 37884

This was part of the George M. Schwartz Theaters chain in 1981.

My mom used to go to this drive-in as a teenager. My husband and I are interested in finding out some more information about the land that is still there. If anyone knows who currently owns this land, could you please e-mail me @ (subject: delmar drive-in)?? We have an interest in bringing back the past :) thanks to anyone who can help in advance!
