A neighborhood theatre that serviced the Canal and Navigation Streets area. Looks like it was built in the early 40’s. Has been closed for years but is now operating as a church.

This is supposed to be a photo of the church located in the former Don Gordon Theater building.

Opened in 1946? How do you explain the 1939 photo that Don Lewis posted?
