After it closed, it was used as a wildlife studio called Animal Arts and is now for lease.

This website has a modern photo of the former Almont Theater building.
Growing up in Almont in the 1970s and early 80s, I have seen several films here. Even then, most of these were second-run or kids' movies, often interrupted by the seemingly constant projection problems. The theatre was already clearly in decline, but its sleek, once-beautiful mid-century modern design was still in evidence. Almont’s theatre closed sometime in either the late 1970s or very early 1980s, after which it went through several reincarnations that I understand brought a great deal of “redesign.” It still stands, empty and without its sleek marquee; I, for one, would love to see it restored to the glory I always imagined it possessed before my time, but it seems unlikely.
The header should have an AKA Main Street.
Just a tiny bit of history from BOxoffice,March 1970.Manager of the Almont,Tina Slover said of “ME,NATALIE” that played the Almont it was “beautiful and revealing story” Patty Duke Starred.
Found another Tina Slover review,“WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO AUNT ALICE?” It played the Almont from Friday-Sunday,stating,“the audience thought it was boring,They couldn’t keep track of the story,It was not as good as we played it up to be”.Ruth Gordon stars.
