It appears the second story of the building was removed at some point, as it is a one story building today.
Current tenants as of June 2018 Street View were Express Shoes and Cash For Gold.
Capitol Theatre opened November 2nd, 1948.
Full history below.
I have submitted a page for the King George Theatre mentioned below, also built and operated by Joseph Giaschi and sons Andrew & Frank.
The East Drive-In originally opened Aug 29,1941.
I believe the above 1947 BoxOffice description is of a reopening. Closed in 1966.
1978 article added to Photos Section, that mentions addition of in car speakers in 1946.
Also the Aug 29,1941 “Road To Zanzibar” grand opening film ad image which was already posted.
Multiple photos added via Mike Swayze.
It appears the building was completely gutted, including the facade.
Only the vertical sign appears to have been repurposed for the retail spaces.
The horizontal marquee is pictured as having been demolished circa 1998.
So the current one is a replica.
Also the below update was on the Water Winter Wonderland site, about the current B&W photo above the overview:
10/25/2005 – Detroit-NYC Al
The picture here is actually of the abandoned Roxy Bar, which was in the building next to the theater. The theater was an Art Deco type place, faced in blue if I remember correctly. It closed in the mid-70s and was torn down shortly thereafter.
