favorited this theater
The Arco was one of three theatres within walking distance of each other. It was all on one floor with a long rectangular building. Had a very small lobby with the ticket booth right inside the front doors. Nothing pretty about the theatre just served its purpose as a small neighborhood movie theatre.

Arco opened in 1911, one of the theatres of O. T. Crawford.
Architect of record was the firm of Duggan & Huff.
Theatre taken over by Famous Players-Missouri, then the Koplar syndicate, and finally St. Louis Amusement Co.
Theatre closed when the Manchester Theatre, just out the street, opened.
A photo of the closed Arco can be seen on the Manchester Theatre entry. (When this shot is moved to the proper location, I will remove this entry.)
