As the building is currently for sale, the Grand Theatre must not have been demolished. It most recently served as a church, but might be vacant now.

The Grand Theatre is at 416 N. Oak Avenue, and is for sale.

The records of the Atlantic Terra Cotta Company, held by the University of Texas, show that Fort Worth architect A. B. Withers ordered the terra cotta for the Grand Theatre in Mineral Wells. As the records in the collection span the years 1914 to 1941, Withers had to have been the original architect, probably sometime around 1921 when the Estey organ was installed. I haven’t discovered who designed the streamline modern remodeling in 1948.

Mineral Wells also had a Drive In Theatre.. It was known as the Mountaineer and/or Tek Drive In Theatre. Seen here, is the only building left of the Drive In. http://www.flickr.com/photos/racphotography/480772407/ .. IT was owned by The Simmons family who at one time, lived in Garland Texas.. I went thru here about a month ago and nothing has changed. The Snack Bar/Projection Booth is still there…. RAC Photography – Randy A Carlisle

That was from the 1963 IMPA. I didn’t have any other information besides that.
