The Brookhaven, which was initially regarded as a community theatre in the mid 20th century ended as a shady soft-core porno house in the early 1970s.

The Brookhaven Theatre opened the week of October 24, 1937. THis was the first theatre I remember going too as a four years old in the late 50’s to see “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. I had an aunt that one time work in the box office. The theatre closed in the early 60’s when the Cherokee Theatre opened in Cherokee Plaza just south on Peachtree Street.
The Brookhaven reopen some time later as the “Brookhaven Art"
The theatre was torn down along with the rest of the business district on the west side of Peachtree in the mid 70’s to allow for removing the sharp curve in the road and widening. The rest of the business district on the other side was later torn down for the construction of the MArta Station.
