Located at the busy intersection of West Huron Street and North Telegraph Road, the Huron Theatre opened in 1942 seating 426. It lasted until December 31, 1986, when it was destroyed by fire. It was a single floor theatre with a nondescript front but had a triangular shaped marquee with a lot of neon. The upper portion of the front was in a light colored tile paneling down to street level and then changed to a darker color. Small lobby in an Art Deco motif with painting of stripes and circles on the walls.

The Huron opened in 1942 and I stand corrected in the header, after further research the Huron was destroyed by fire on Dec. 31, 1986. The last two movies played at the Huron were “The Return of the Jedi” and “The Dead Zone”.
One more tidbit, the Huron was actually located in Waterford Township.
Actually, the Huron Theater burned down Christmas Eve 1983…Hope this helps!
Lssu81, I think your date is worng on the fire. There last Feature was Return of the Jedi and that was released in 1984. The newspaper articles covering the fire are from 1987.
