I couldn’t find an exact opening date but found it was open in the late-1930’s. Seating listed at 500. I found two different closing dates, 1955 and 1956. It is now used as a church (Church of the Lord Jesus Christ).

Traffic was terrible on Reading Road near the Avon due to road construction. I’ll get back another time, but these will at least give you an idea what the Avon looks like today. It’s for sale and appears empty, but still has some interesting features.

I believe this structure became a church at one time.
Avon was built in 1940 and closed in 1956,it seated 500-to 600 depending on which source is used. Its first owner was Ival Gooman,sometime in the 1960’s it became a Church Of God building.
