Looks like the Linden had a closing date in the mid-sixties. It’s hard to pin down accurately, as they went “adult” near the end and adult theatres weren’t listed in the daily directories.

This was one of the few neighborhood theatres in Columbus with a balcony.

County records show the land purchased by the Public Library on 5/6/1966.

The linden was listed in the Columbus city directory in 1961:
