Here’s another recent photo of the Garden, taken in 2006: View link
The church owners have restored the lobby and part of the auditorium into a youth center for the neighborhood. The black painted over and boarded up front doors now are restored to the original wood with a clear view through the glass into the former lobby. The last article I read about it referred to the church eventually showing family-oriented and religious movies as soon as the rest of the auditorium is restored. The original marquee blew off in a storm in the early 1990’s.
The Garden was actually on North High Street in the Short North neighborhood. I think an adult theatre once occupied the Garden at one time…a church is in the building now. A long “Garden” sign is still on the building, but the marquee no longer remains.
