Can’t the Google Maps view be corrected? With a bit of manipulation, it could easily show the vertical sign and marquee instead of a blank wall.

Much nicer street view if you move the curser to the corner of the street.

Well it was still showing movies in the late 70’s. THE CARVER had double feature “JENNIFER” rated PG and “THE DEVIL WITHIN HER” rated R. Cheap seats for late 70’s, Adults $1.00 and kids fifty cents.

Lazzarus Theatres operated this theatre and later was run by United Theatres. Closed as a movie theatre in 1975. This was an African American venue.

This list of historic New Orleans buildings attributes the design of the Carver Theatre to the firm of August Perez & Associates (it’s listed third from the bottom.)
