The May 5, 1951, issue of Boxoffice attributes the design of the Trail Theatre to Dietz Lusk of Boller & Lusk. The Dickenson’s Theatres house had just opened with 700 seats.

So I won’t be the cause of any more hair loss for HogGravy, here is a fresh link to the photo of the Trail Theatre on the cover of Boxoffice, October 6, 1951.

HogGravy, Nothing has been done since I took those construction pictures last September…. Quite sad. How I would LOVE to own that building.
