A 1985 aerial view shows the drive-in, but it appears to be closed. There’s a line indicating where the screen is, meaning that the screen is still standing. It was already wiped by the early-1990s.

A 1987 aerial view shows the theater with its screen and glory, but cannot confirm its condition.

Still listed in the 1994 topo, but is most likely gone by then, as confirmed in the 1998 aerial.

Some employee appears to be a “Dallas” fan. He probably watched too much WJBK or CFPL.

Closed as a movie theater on April 2, 1989, closing with “Chances Are”, “Cousins” and “New York Stories”. Judging by advertisements and articles, it did not close with a special screening of “Gone With The Wind”.

A 1992 aerial view shows the theater appearing to be closed, but everything intact. It was already wiped by the end of the decade.

Despite being wiped after closure, the fading traces are still visible into the 1980s and much of the 1990s.

Still visible in 1985, but was closed by the mid-1990s. Although almost everything was still intact by then, the screen remained standing until sometime in the late-1990s or early-2000s.

Most likely closed on December 9, 1962 with “The Hanging Tree” and “The Last Time I Saw Archie”, but I cannot confirm if its the actual closing date.

The original Orpheum sits right next to the Air Dome, judging by a 1908 photo released by the city itself.

The building was visible in the 1975 aerial view, meaning that may’ve operated for some 30+ years.
