The Clemson Theater was the first theater in the town of Clemson. It was located in the heart of downtown Clemson. The theater closed sometime in the middle 1970s as it was replaced by the more modern Astro theater down the road. During the brief time that its operation overlapped with the new Astro, the Clemson theater showed unrated or X rated flicks.

The old theater is now being used as a college apparal store. The interior was not significantly altered, and it is easy to tell that it was once a theater. The original marquee still remains.

The link posted above happens to belong to Lauren Grubb. Roadside Oklahoma is her website. Maybe she only wanted a link to that one photo.

The Clemson Theater was open into the early ‘80s; the last film I can say with certainty that I saw there was THE ROAD WARRIOR in May 1982 (my father took me, even though it was in the middle of final exams for the year). Mr. York, the manager, then moved down the street to the Astro III.
