Still open in the mid-1980s. Some of the traces are wiped by the mid-1990s, but almost everything is still intact. As of 2026, the screen still stands in great condition, and a hint of its fading traces can also be seen.

Still intact in the 1980s but I cannot tell its condition judging by a 1983 aerial.

Once operated by Mann Theatres before Dickinson took it over during its final year as a movie theater. It was closed as a movie theater on July 13, 1980 with “The Amityville Horror”.

Most likely seasonal at the time.

50sSNIPES commented about Auto Vue Drive-In on Apr 5, 2026 at 9:30 am

Still visible in the 1974 aerial view, and into the early-1980s but I cannot tell its condition by that time. Traces remained intact into the mid-1980s despite being closed.

Last normal mainstream shows are three days before closure, on September 1, 1983 with “Stroker Ace” and “Best Little Whorehouse In Texas”.

Operated as early as 1911, and closed around late-1928. It became a special events house afterward, which was still used as that during the early-1930s.

50sSNIPES commented about Chang's Theatre on Apr 5, 2026 at 8:23 am

The earliest information that I can find about the Garden Theatre is several showtimes from 1910, meaning that this operated as early as that year.

Opened with Madge Kennedy in “Strictly Confidential” along with an unnamed comedy, an unnamed Outing-Chester Traveltalk, and an unnamed short that reads “Cad Nat Picture” (which I don’t know where that came from).

It was closed on April 16, 1970 with “Topaz” and “Willie Boy Is Here”.

CinemaScope was installed in 1955, meaning that this operated as early as 1953.
