The Fort Theatre was opened in 1940 with Fred MacMurray in “Drums Along the Mowhawk”. It was still operating in 1957. It is used as law offices.

“Chatsworth hit big-time when Fort Theatre opened; the first movie was "Drums Along the Mohawk,” starring Fred McMurray. Oliver Dickson managed the theatre and sold tickets from the box office. Junior Ledford operated the projector (the film broke several times during the movie, requiring intermissions for repair — sometimes long intermissions — before the movie began again). A later popcorn concession was run by Cecil Bradley. Friends of Cecil’s got a bag filled to spilling over. A typical Saturday afternoon during the 1942-1950 era found the majority of town high-school boys and girls waiting around for the late-night show to begin.“ -http://www.murraycountymuseum.com/mm_02.html
It is not listed under the “Landmarks Lost” section on the website shared above in my previous comment. Still trying to figure out if something is extant there…
CinemaTour says the Fort Theatre was at 104 N. Third Avenue. The current use is office space. There is one photo, from 2019.
