If you look at photos from the 1930’s and early 1940’s the photo in the header looks the same. The front facade was completely covered over in a remodel sometime in the 1940’s. The current facade looks nothing like the original.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who thinks this photo is totally wrong for the Texas Theater in San Angelo.
I dont know where this picture of the Texas came from but it never ever looked like this photo guranteed.Glen Carr care taker since 1969
I would love to get my grandfather back in here. He is always telling me stories about all the theaters in San Angelo that were run by Rowley United. I was showing him the pictures that Mrs. Durbin posted on here. he told me about the ceiling, and how they changed the lights, the bolier in the basement, and the building on the roof.
Thanks Don,for the ad.
Still closed, but the facade and marquee look in good shape – very fancy marquee! Looks like the building is a converted church.
From 1961 a movie ad from the Texas Theatre in San Angelo.
That theatre MUST be saved!
Nice photos, what the latest word on the rehab of this theatre?
Those are some fantastic photos. The theater seems to be in sound shape and would be beautiful if fully restored.
I was in San Angelo for business and happened to run into the San Angelo Paranormal Studies (SAPS) group that was about to go inside and they invited me along. I was pretty unprepared, but still got some neat shots. Its in pretty sad shape. The original owner gave us the tour and said the guy that was renovating it ran into legal/financial trouble. The inside was pretty wrecked by the renovator.

Hey Calc,
I just want to say Thank You for continuing with the restoration of the Texas Theater. I know that with these tough times its hard to get things done nowadays but with your love of theater, you proved that anything is possible. Thank You for bringing life back to downtown San Angelo and bringing back one of her children. If you ever need any help, ill be glad to lend a hand. Thanks Again!

I suggest that you remove it from your photobucket since I know who the owner is.
You’re right. I went through the photos, but I missed that one. Sorry about that.
That photo bears a striking resemblance to the photo that I linked to on Aug 12, 2007. What a coincidence.
Here is a photo, pre-renovation. The posters are for Schindler’s List and Jurassic Park, so I assume the theater closed sometime around 1994:
