More than likely a false fascade.
My previous comment should have spelled your name as Chuck. LOL
If the building in the 1979 photo and the 2008 photo are the same building, this theater had an extreme makeover. The building in the 1979 photo looks more modern than the building in the 2008 photo.
LM, I think it is the same theatre, if you look at the photo posted on 4/14/09 you can see the reconstruction of the front. They really did a job on the theatre.
Cjuck….Looks like a different building. Maybe the American Classic photo is labeled wrong.
2008 photo of the Emerald by CT member Derek Farr. It sure don’t look like the same theatre as in the 1979 photo.
