The Nancy Theatre was located at 204 Main St. There isn’t much left of the theatre. No roof and half a wall is gone.

The Sioux Falls SD Argus-Leader reported on April 15, 1948: “Arden G. Davidson, Sioux Falls, former movie projectionist at Marion and Hartford, has announced that he has purchased the Nancy theatre at Bridgewater. He will take possession on May 1.”

Davidson had advertised in March 1948 for a theater to purchase. He would build the Twilite Drive-In in Lennox SD in 1949.
