Like the College Theatre in Brookings, this building is now used as a fitness center. The gym website has some photos of the interior. It doesn’t appear that this theater had any distinctive architectural value before or after the conversion to the health club.

Good old STATE THEATRE in the late 60’s it was a place kids came for fun and movies.Charles McLaughlin had sold out shows with “UNCLE CHARLIE’S FUN SHOW” matinee. McLauglin was Manager of the STATE.
The State Theatre opened in 1930 was remodeled in 1948 and closed in 1956.
The State reopened in 1960 after another remodeling. A photo of its updated auditorium appeared on the cover of Boxoffice of May 9 that year.
