The Osteen was a two screen theater that closed after some of the more modern theaters opened farther down the road. It has since been demolished and the lot is now used by a bank.

The Peoples Bank uses the address of 605 N Main St but the theater was listed at 613 N Main St.
The Osteen Theatre opened in 1955 and closed in 1994.
The Osteen re-opened briefly in June of 1995 with “Judge Dreadfull”, or was that “Judge Dredd”? At first only the original auditorium opened, but later the Osteen 2 also opened. The Osteen was not a true twin. There were two seperate theatres with seperate entrances and box offices. The Osteen two opened in the mid 1970’s. But due to low attendance and high costs the Osteen closed its doors for good in November of 1995.
I was there at the grand opening of the Osteen, to see “Underwater” with Jane Russell. Was also a regulator to their special kids shows where admission was a few bottle caps.
You hate to see those old special land marks disappear, but they do. Old West Market Street School is also gone, and it was such a special place.
Thanks

I found the same address that LM did 613 N. Main St.
When this theatre opened it was a single screen as mentioned it must have had the second auditorium with the seperate entrance added in the late 1980’s.
