This is a 1981 photo. I remember when “Thunderbuns” was playing at the adult theaters in Philly around that time, my frat brothers and I got a kick out of the name.

The architect was S. Charles Lee, who also did (the much more spectacular) Tower Bowl complex directly across the street.

P.S. to my above comment. The company that ran the theater in the 60s also ran the Spreckles and the Broadway.

The Tower was across the street from the Armed Forces YMCA and served mostly military men on shore leave. In the 60s they ran mostly soft core.
