Plus, the Midland Theatre Foundation now has an official web site.
According to the Foundations mission statement they are going to restore the theatre and the Alamo building next door. It looks like they have restored the extrior. It is really in great shape.
Hey Chuck. I see this is another one of many that you had photos of.
Did you loose all your files ( I certainly hope not!)
Don…
Don,
I lost a lot of my files during my illness, Let my niece use the computer and she sort of crashed it. I was finally able to get my passward straight on photobucket and retrieved a lot of my theatre photos. I was astounded at the front of the Midland Theatre and how much improvement they have made on it. I had relatives in Coffeyville so there was a little sentiment involved with this theatre. I hope they fulfill the plans for this theatre. It is truly a treasure.

The official web site of the Midland Theater Foundation is still in operation.
The original name of the house, the New Tackett Theatre, and the name of the architect, Clare A. Henderson, still need to be added.
