The Parkway Theatre closed on February 9, 1964 with Yul Bryner in “Kings of the Sun.” The demolition took place soon thereafter with a modern, Buddie Supermarket constructed on the site.

This theatre was open in December 1939—-unsure about when it actually opened. One of Interstate Theatres first neighborhood theatres in Fort Worth.

According to visual evidence at HistoricAerials.com, the building was in existence as late as 1963, but demolished and converted to a parking lot as part of an expanded shopping center by 1970.
