The building is now the home of Valley Transportation and Bus Company, used for their offices and garage. Inside the former auditorium, much of the ceiling and side-wall ornamentation still exists.

The current occupants, Valley Transportation are always very friendly, when I have asked to see the interior. It is used as a garage, but a lot of the ceiling, sides and entrance still have elements of the old theater.
My father had told me how when he was a kid back in the 1930’s he had taken a long trolly ride to the State just to see the Laurel & Hardy short Busy Bodies.
