The bank has changed hands a number of times but it is listed as either 401 or 405. Therefore I believe the street number was set up incorrectly.

Trolleyguy The Columbia and adjacent buildings were demolished in 1962 and replaced by the Rising Sun State Bank. I have uploaded a newspaper photo from July 26, 1962 announcing this.

I remember a co-worker of mine really wanted to see a specific movie and had no time to do so. So she would alter her lunch time and, after several days, see the whole film. The cashier got wind of this and didn’t charge her toward the end.

robboehm commented about Castle Theatre on Jul 13, 2022 at 10:42 am

I came upon an article by John Harvey in An Index to Early Entertainment in Jasper County, GA. Although he mentions films being shown at the turn of the century they were usually at the Courthouse, High School or in a tent. There was even a movie truck that came by.

He indicates that there was an open air theatre in the 1920s run by a Mr. Malone who then moved it to an existing building. I believe that the Castle was the name assigned to the new venue since, among the live performers were the Malone Sisters. Family.

The first talkie to play in Monticello was The Hollywood Review in 1929.

Pretty much the same as last time except that there were internal high hats lit in addition to the marquee in, what I presume, is going to be the hall approach to all the auditoriums. There is now a breach in the fence enclosing the site but with the paper on the windows there is nothing really to see when you’re close up. See you in August.
