The Lake Theater was located at 322 East Main Street across from the Lakeland Terrace Hotel. The building housing the theater was built in the early 1920’s and originally was home to a furniture store. It was later home to the Cardwell Motor Car Company in the mid-1920’s. The building was converted for use as a movie theater and it opened as the Lakeland Theater in 1928. The name was changed to the Lake Theater in the late 1940’s. The theater closed in the early 1960’s and the building was torn down in 1970 to make way for a parking garage.

Here is a site with some photos of what occupies the space now. I understood there was some remaining artifacts, but that is not the case. Status should be closed/demolished: http://tinyurl.com/yr5235
Upn further review, it appears that the theater was first converted into a carpet store and now contains the Museum of the Middle Appalachians. The museum’s address is 123 Palmer Ave, Saltville. Status should be closed, function should be museum.
Warren, I’m not sure if you’ve posted this already. You’ve done a yeoman’s job on these Roxy ads. This is a 1940 ad from the NY Times: http://tinyurl.com/yu44cw
There was a story in the LA Times today about an ambitious plan tp renovate the Broadway district, including the remaining film houses. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard this, of course, so we will see what happens.
I stand corrected.
I can’t see it. I will see if there are any more Calexico photos around. I was there a couple of years ago, but no camera.
Advertised as the Rocking Chair Theater in the late sixties. Architect was J. Frank Spires. Here is an undated photo:

The first photo was taken in 1940. You can also see the New Daisy to the right. The second photo is circa 1960s:

Here are some 2006 views of Heffernan at First. I can’t tell you which building might have been the Azteca, however:

More of the tiles have been uncovered. Not for long, though, as I think the construction will obliterate this area soon.
