The original Port Theatre was located on the North side of Main Street between 1st and 2nd Streets, and opened on July 25th,1936. Grand Opening ad and a 1939 photo of that Port Theatre added to the gallery.
March 2021 street view shows it as being vacant, with THIS PLACE MATTERS on the marquee.
Circa 1941 opening photo added courtesy of April Robson Braun‎.
This is the former Port Theatre in LaPorte, Texas. I’m not sure when it closed because I moved away from this area; during the late 1980’s. About five years ago; it was still a church. I saw Old Yeller, That Darn Cat, My Fair Lady, and Bullet at this theatre. It was a nice theatre back then. When I was twelve years old; I drew a picture of the theatre and mailed it to the manager. I received a letter back from the manager. He told me the picture was on the wall of his office and he sent me free passes to everyone in my family; to use at his theatre. I miss those years. Times were better and people weren’t in a hurry like they are now.
For sale on loopnet and it is not the Quonset Hut
