Viewing: Photo | Street View

The Princess Theater served the farming community of White Hall, Illinois during the early decades of the 20th century with both live theatrical performances as well as motion pictures. The single-screen theater building included two small retail offices on its street facade, a modest marquee and box office.

The theater opened in 1915 and it was remodeled in 1937. The Princess Theatre ceased operation in 1957. It was purchased by a local furniture store and has been used as surplus storage space ever since. In 2000, the rear of the the building collapsed.

Could the building in this 2001 photo be the Princess Theater building?

Thanks Ken. Only the name of the town was given so I wasn’t sure if it was this theater.
