Those who would like a picture of the aging and rustic looking Queen better hurry, as this theater is set to receive a substantial facelift in the near future. Still no plans to rehabilitate it enough for a reopening just yet, however.

Yeah I saw that one. It really shows how massive in height the building is.

Even if the screen was at the bottom & back of the building, it seems that all of the towering front space above the doors must have housed something.

I wonder if there was balcony seating possibly OVER the projection booth. I saw a similar layout in a theatre in Chicago once. Much like Cinerama, but with only one projector at that mid-hieght under a balcony overhang.

Wow. For such a narrow building, it’s pretty tall. It must have had one helluva balcony.
Don Lewis is right. With all those visible neon outlets in the crown,
it must have been an awesome sight when fully lit back in it’s hayday.

There is another photo on this page. I wonder if anyone ever took a picture of this theater when it was still vibrant:

Two more photos taken in 1986 of the majestic Queen Theater waiting to be rescued here and here.

A closer look reveals the QUEEN’S crown must have had some flashy neon at some point.

Hard to beleive that Bryan is not trying to preserve the QUEEN.
