I do believe I might have updated Street View to the wrong building. I was thinking auto repair shop, as in the description, and there is an auto repair shop that looks like it could have been a theater, but I got turned around and didn’t realize I was looking at the north side of the street. The auto repair is at 4050 24th Street. If the theater was on the south side of the street, at 4045, then it was where the Wells Fargo Bank is now. I don’t see a Rite Aid anywhere on the block.
Is it possible that the address is wrong, and the theater really was at 4050? The building there certainly looks the part.
I wonder if the Palmer Theatre could have been the house mentioned in the July 23, 1927, issue of Building and Engineering News? It was described as being at 24th and Noe, and was to be a reinforced concrete building with a theater and two stores, costing $70,000. The owner’s name was A. C. Franklin, and the working drawings were being prepared by architects Morrow & Morrow.
I found out just a little more about the Palmer, just so everyone will know it was not a figment of my imagination:
“Theater owners Muzio and Faro ran the M and F, which became the Palmer Theater, located on 24th between Noe and Castro, where Rite Aid is now”.
At least this gives clarification to it’s location. W N.
