The Palace closed due to a massive fire on August 22, 1963 that destroyed the building and left three men injured in the blaze. It opened in August 1937.

The Palace was located downtown in Sylvester GA. It was an L shaped theatre with a very small balcony. It had a 35mm projection booth, but in its last years it used 16mm projection with the projector located in the lobby with a port hole cut in the back wall of the auditorium. The old 35mm equipment was stored in an area over the lobby. I went into this building when it was closed. All the seats had been removed, but there is no way it could have contained 500 seats.
