The Eaton Theatre opened in 1931 as a single screen, located in downtown Charlotte. It was closed for a short time in 1960 and was later twinned by Beechler Theatres.
Built during the Art Deco style era, it was totally modernized when it was twinned. It still has the large square marquee and the vertical sign.

Those features are from 2007, now that I look at it, so perhaps the site was a project that someone gave up on during the process.

Ken,
That was a demo site I had created for the theater years ago, because their site was horrible when it was up. It didn’t give you the info you wanted, it plagiarized IMDB’s descriptions and gave no credit, and was in general a pain to navigate, on top of being extremely dirty HTML with random tags strewn through it. When I offered it though, they didn’t seem interested in using it, and have since let two domains lapse as well. I go back and forth debating keeping it up to date as a public service. :P
