There are some interesting views of the theater on Google maps. Thanks to Lost Memory for pointing out this feature. There doesn’t seem to be any way to copy and paste the photo, however.
That’s an interesting photo. You can expand it and move the view around to see more of the building. Doesn’t look much like a theater, though, with all the windows.
I think the address may have been 10009 Miles Avenue. That’s where the Arslanian business was located. Here is a site that discusses th Arslanians moving into the old theater. Incidentally, 10000 Miles Avenue is a cemetery, so I assume the carpet warehouse is across the street. http://tinyurl.com/65jfu9
The current occupant is the Wareham Opera House, which is a banquet hall for wedding receptions and meetings. Interestingly enough, the Wareham Theater replaced the Wareham Opera House back in the early part of the twentieth century. Here is a December 2007 article about the renovation of the theater by the current owners: http://tinyurl.com/56c4be
This article states that the Ashland was turned into a tire store after closure. It looks like it’s currently a beauty salon. http://tinyurl.com/58g23z
Looking at the photos from 10/20/07, I’m reminded of the Westlake Theater in Los Angeles. Lots of stuff worth preserving if you can dispose of the tacky retail.
The State can be seen on the right on this circa 1970 photo:

The marquee is now gone, as is the blue paint seen in the preceding photo.
I noticed that. I’m not commenting on the shots that are taken a block away or otherwise are ambiguous.
OK. That’s in the picture, but Google has it at 66 Kearny.
There is a photo of the theater on Google maps. It looks like some kind of garage, but it’s hard to tell.
A view of the former theater can be seen on Google maps.
Google maps shows businesses on the even side of the street. The odd side looks to be a park. I can’t tell if the theater still exists.
You can see the former Grand Theater on Holton per Google maps. It’s an interesting looking building.
There is a nice view of the building on Google maps.
That’s correct. I did notice that some of the addresses don’t match up. You may have to go up or down the street to find what you’re looking for.

The theater can be seen on Google maps. The front of the buildng has been painted with murals showing the theater’s past. Very interesting,
Google maps shows a very large building that spans 628-630 Moore Street. I doubt if this was the theater.
Google maps has a nice view of the theater, provided you scroll up the street from the original view. Follow the arrows.

That should be the Royal, not the Ashland.

No, go ahead. I’m going down there in about nine months, so I will wait until then to add any theaters in Brazil.
