One source cites the Liberty Theater in El Campo as being currently occupied by an antiques store. Googling produces Prairie Switch Antiques at 708 N. Mechanic Street. Either Liberty was an aka for the Normanna or alternatively the theaters were adjacent.

Seating in 1948 was 594. The building was constructed to replace the old Opera House, later called the Kootenai theater, which burned to the ground. Here is a 1948 photo:

There was also an MGM/Loews theater in Valparaiso in 1948. I don’t think it was the same theater as the Teatro Municipal:

This 1986 Michael Putnam photo shows a Jefferson Theater in NYC, obviously not the one in Brooklyn. If the NYC theater is listed under a different name, let me know so I can repost the photo:

Prior to its demolition, the Liberty was a branch of the First City Bank of Beaumont.

The church had some code violations a few years ago, according to these city council minutes in 2002:

Report on Status of the Rehabilitation Project at the Former Vogue Theater, 1210 Railroad Lane (Los Pentecostales Church) (Recommend Acceptance) The long-time building code violation at the old Vogue Theatre Building at 1210 Railroad Lane, now owned by the Los Pentecostales Del Area De La Bahia (the Church), is finally showing signs that the renovation will be completed in the near future. The City’s Building Division issued a building permit in June 2002 and work is continuing by a full crew of craftsmen and construction workers.
