i was looking thru a newspaper from 1945 there i saw a movie theatre n highland park upper darby called thE PARK THEATRE. the theatre wasnt around in 1963 which means it went out around the 1950s. anymore info on this theatre would be appreciated. the the theatre stood right where PARK SELF STORAGEstone building is now. its almost right across from PICA’S pizza
the PARK THEATRE westchester pike heading towards 69th st highland park was built in 1904 sinces that was year plan for the developement of highland park. the theatre was discontinued and demolished in 1958 making way for park self storage. now probably the front part was demolished!! id say held between 700 1200 seats !!
i asked an older gentleman about the 69th st theatre he said the layout was weired, girls bathroom upstairs boys bathroom downstairs. he said the audithorium was in the basement lol .
This theater actually had a great auditorium and huge balcony. It also had box sections on orchestra level that were great. They never used theose or the balcony. I was 8 years old when they closed.
hey mike was the theatre attached to the apartment building ? or was it seperated by an allie way or something. could u go into the theatre to apartments or go to the side doors
The apartments were above the theater and had a seperate enterance on the side. This theater had a great screen and beautiful curtians. Back in the 60’s they closed the curtains after each movie andafter the previes before the next feature started. I loved this theater.
