This is a circa 1941 photo. Let me know if there are problems with the link.
If this is simply closed, perhaps there is still hope for this theatre?
I had forgotten that you put both of our names as contributors. It nice to be in good company.
If the above link doesn’t work, here is the page with photos of this theater and other Raleigh theaters.
LM, the link don’t work on this page either, but the page with all of the theatres on it does.
Thanks Chuck. Next time I’ll just post the whole page. I isolate certain photos to save people time but sometimes it doesn’t work.
LM: The link you posted with all of the Raleigh theatres shows a State Theatre. Is that listed on CT?
Patsy, it is listed on CT. It was submitted in a joint effort between you and LM.
