Opened as the Queen Theatre on 3 July 1922 and was later known as State Theatre in 1930’s. It became the Fox Theatre in the 1950’s. The building still stands as of 2009.

Tom Orr writing in the TIMES-NEWS writes of a tour he was given by the owner of the building the QUEEN was in.The Projection Booth still has the Projectors!June 10 2012.
Orr also added that the projectionist at the time the late Raymond Clouse let his daughter in the booth to watch “JAILHOUSE ROCK”.Other Employees on an old time card are Richard Waters and Joe Orr.

Architect Erle Stillwell was born in Missouri ,but raised in Hendersonville.The Depression of the 30’s began a big collapse in his career,It was designing Movie Theatres in North and South Carolina,Alabama and Tennessee that saved his career designing 60 Theatres in this region.
A lot of Stillwell’s Theatres fell under the Paramount Banner in the Southeast.
