The LeRose Theater is listed in the 1941 Film Daily Yearbook. It has a glazed brick front with brownish tones. and the facade still has the remnants of the marquee supports.
The building has been changed on the inside and is now used as office space and warehouse space. While it is not used as a theatre, it is taken care of and used on a daily basis.

Sorry about the misspelling in my submission. Glad to see so much talk about it though.
Should be 335 Spring St.

ken mc the pic you have in your post up top also has a pic of the older Dream, do you have the rest of that to post on the Dreams profile. It would be cool if so. i have just added the dream to the Ct registry.
If this link works you should see an interior photo.
Looks like the name of this theater became detached over the years. The awning over the building entrance now reads “Le Rose” but I think the name was meant to be LeRose, without the gap. The name on the marquee in the old photos has no letter-sized gap in the name, though the cursive script of the two parts is not directly connected. The name of the house usually appears as LeRose in Boxoffice Magazine, and an Internet search reveals that people with the surname LeRose usually use the gap-less form.
Jerry J. Noaks' book, Jeffersonville Indiana, also uses the form LeRose.
The June 5, 1937, issue of Boxoffice ran an item datelined Jeffersonville which said: “John F. Gilooly has completely remodeled the LeRose Theatre here, which has been closed since the floods, and has reopened the house. Complete reseating was included in the job.” Gilooly was then the manager for Switlow Amusements, operator of both theaters in Jeffersonville.
SiliconSam is right, the address is 335 Spring Street.
John F. Gilooly Was also a member of the coast guard life saving station #10, louisville post, he was one of the most famous members. there is a bronze placard on the station which is a National Historic landmark dedicated to him. The Station is the dock boat For the Steamer Belle Of Louisville. interesting little tie in, I thought.
