Opened in 1948 as the Terre Haute Drive-In with a car capacity listed at 650 cars. It was operated by 4th Avenue Amusement until 1975 when United Artist Theatres took over. UA renamed it the North Drive-In and operated it until it closed in 1985.
Any further information on this drive-in would be appreciated.

Please correct “Huate” to “Haute” on the address above.
The address listed here is a bit off. It’s located on the southwest corner of N. Lafayette St. and E. Park Ave. Google street view currently shows it’s an empty field and the screen remains standing.
The Entrance to the former North Drive-In was at 3100 N. Lafayettte. There was no entrance or exit at the corner of N. Lafayette & E. Park Ave. In the Terre Haute City Directory the address listed in 1960 is the same, 3100 N. Lafayette St.
The 1972 aerial that is uploaded shows the old Terre Haute Drive-in at the corner of Hawthorne and the North Drive-In about six blocks to the north. I think the North and the Terre Haute drive-ins were separate.
Goggle Earth 2012. It looks like they made the lake bigger.
