I passed the old Hargrove Theatre in Sparta, Georgia going to Milledgeville, Georgia one day. The theatre was in terrible shape. State Highway 16 runs through Sparta. Never could find out who owned the old theatre, but the last film to play there was what was left of"Nightmare on Elm Street" letters which remained on the marquee since it closed in 1984. I wanted so bad to explore the old theatre but was riding with someone else and couldn’t.

I found information on two theatres in Sparta, the Hargo on Main St and the Hargrove on Broad St. but nothing on a Sparta Theatre. Could the Sparta have been one of these two theatres.
It might have been the Hargrove Theatre which is located on W. Broad St. since W. Broad St. is Highway 16

Thanks Chuck,I don’t even remember a name on the theatre building.It has got to be the Hargrove Theatre.
If this theater is one the main street, it should be listed as demolished. I usually drive through Sparta going to Sandersville. I remember about six years ago one Sunday Morning riding through Sparta and seeing the old theater had burned. The building was demolished right after that and a cheesey temporary “snack shack” has been put in the theater’s place.
I guess Google Map puts the theater at the corner of Broad Street and Boland Street, Is that correct?
Anyone have more info or photos?
Bob, that is the correct location, I believe the new building where the theatre once stood is now a subway shop.
thanks J.B. I don’t get by Sparta Much,I remember the theatre being on the corner.
Here’s a photograph [September 2011] of what I believe to be the site of the demolished Hargrove.
that doesn’t look like the theatre i was talking about.JFbrantley probably saw the one i did,unless they remodeled the downtown the picture above does not look like the one i saw.
