A lady at the local newspaper office told me that Chattahoochee’s indoor theater was located just east of the newspaper office. The Gibson Theater was operating prior to 1941, and continued until at least 1950.
It’s still standing and in use as a nail salon. You can see where the box office, which has now been turned into a window, used to be, as well as the two separate entrances, one for blacks and one for whites.

Here are my pictures of the Gibson Theater from April 2011.
The Gibson was owned by C. S. Dunn of Dunn Family theatres. It closed in the sixties. The concession stand could be accessed from inside or outside. The heating and cooling system was in a separate building separated from the main theatre by an alleyway. After the theatre closed, it was turned into a furniture storage and the booth was used for storing mattresses. Cannot locate a picture of the Gibson when it was a theatre, but I remember it had a nice marquee.
I have pictures and will try to locate them. I think they are all black and white. C.S.Dunn was my Dad, and this theater was my “Nanny” or babysitter. I was the envy of the local kids.
