The Dowling Theatre opened sometime in the mid-1940’s from what I found. Seating was given at 796.
The theatre closed in 1955. From the looks of a photo taken in the late-2000’s, there is just a shell of the theatre left. The roof has completely collapsed. Since then the remains have been demolished.
Any further information on the Dowling Theatre would be appreciated.
