This is in the Grays Ferry neighborhood, south of U of P. I drove around quite a bit in this area in the early eighties, but I can’t recall seeing any old theaters. I wasn’t looking for any, admittedly.

Thanks. Function can be changed to retail.

This 1972 ad has the Lennox at 10927 Hawthorne. It could have been a different theater. Sadly, Investigator man has not been able to complete his mission as he has been thwarted by his arch-nemesis, Mrs. Investigator Man:

The 1970 IMPA lists the East Sprague and Dishman Theaters, and says both are in Spokane. The two theaters were part of Favorite Theaters, Inc, and were operated by J.J. Rosenfield. Here are the Favorite theaters at that time, all listed as being in Spokane:
Post, Garland, East Sprague, East Trent, North Cedar, West End, Dishman.

“Adult movies” says it all. Patrons probably aren’t that interested in the movie, anyway.
