I remember the Center theater from way back in 1953. We called it the Woodbourne Theater. Nothing lasts forever, even people.

There was a restaurant just over the Neversink River that served the most delicious pizza that I’ve ever tasted.

Pity it will rot.

Well, I am sorry to say that in 2010 the building does not look any better.

I can only hope that the plywood covering the entrance doors is there for protection and not because the Deco doors are missing.
