Comments about Mack Theater in McMinnville, OR

Had the pleasure to tour the Mack recently. While it is in need of some restoration it is a beautiful theater. There is some water damage to the ceiling in the auditorium and the hall leading from the lobby but nothing a new roof won’t fix and some plaster repair. Not to serious. Big lobby and big 700 seat auditorium. Needs new drapes and some cleaning but otherwise could be a great classic house. The owner is interested in getting it reopened if someone has a good business plan and the money to revamp the interior. We can only hope.

Another photo of the Mack can be seen here. As I posted about 3 ½ years ago, the Mack opened on October 18th, 1941. That information should replace the 1942 year given above.

Very nice design. Not much frontage to work with, so the designer expressed himself through the verical sign.

I think what Roger Katz said on Dec. 19, 2008 is correct, I think the theatre is closed. The phone is no longer in service and none of the info links show any features now showing for the Mack.

The name “MACK” comes from the first two and the last two letters of the last name of the couple that founded it: Matty and Bob MAttecheCK.

This theater closed in 2006.

My wife and I discovered and photographed McMinnville and the MACK this past September (2003). We did not go in, but it is showing movies and appears to be in great shape. It has a vertical facade displaying the MACK name and shares a tree lined and picturesque street with various shops and restaurants.
