I loved visiting my grandfather here when I was little. Unfortunately I didn’t realize he was even selling until it was too late. I would have loved to have ran it. I have a lot of fond memories of this place. I would love to see this place restored.

I just bought it in June. The basement is converted to inside mini storage.

The West has been closed for about a year. The church moved on.

Here is a recent photo. Looks like this building is now home to a church.

The West Theatre opened in August, 1947. The manager was Vincent H. Lauter and the owner was the American Slovene Corporation, a group of residents of the city. The building has a 105 foot frontage on Wooster Road, West and 135 foot deep along 21st Street. The parking lot at the rear of the building holds 70 to 80 cars. The building had a basement that included an arcade of 11 shops/stores, accessable from the front or rear of the building. The theatre was fully airconditioned. This writer worked at the theatre and recalls showing the movie “The Thing” with special green lettering on the marquee. Exact number of seats unknown, but probably around 400. The theatre was in full operation during my last visit (2005)to the city.
