This Cleveland west side theater closed in the late 1940’s or maybe 1950. After that the lobby was used as a auto repair shop, but the theater marquee and vertical were still in place. If you know anything about this theater please post.

Listed in Film Daily Yearbooks with varying seating capacities; 1941=600, 1943=500 and 1950=700.
I believe the auto shop is still there today, although the building today looks like nothing closely resembling a theatre.
I drove by that address…apparently the original theatre building was demolished and replaced by a garage-when this was done I don’t know offhand. I know that an auto repair shop and a used car lot are at West 85th and Lorain Ave. now.
Stork Theatre opened in 1930 and closed in 1950.
And, it was a costume shop for a short time in the late 50’s, early 60’s.
Still listed as open in 1951 with 700 seats.
