I’m no film historian, but I think 1947 was one of the last years where television had not put a dent in movie attendance. Probably through 1950 or so, then the decline began.

This recap of Biloxi post-Katrina mentions that the theater never re-opened. The current status of the damaged building is not commented on anywhere that I could find.

If it was being restored in October 2005, wouldn’t the work be done by now?
