This will assist us in preserving the history surrounding these theatres in Tampa. Thank you!!
The building was most recently owned by a church. They only did minimal maintenance, as the roof collapsed while being examined by the city building inspector. The building was condemned in August 2009.

Mike, back then they didn’t have one sheets, those were 30x40’s and had to be returned to National Theatre Supply at the end of the run, the stills were not returnable so management got to keep those.
Yeah, we were suppose to return one sheets in my days,Most are in basement.LOL.
