I’ve been doing a little research on the Monroe Theatre (204 South St.) in Monroeville, Indiana. My Great Grandparents, George and Betty Fellers, were the 2nd owners till they sold it around 1957. I believe it operated as a theatre for several more years when the congregation of St. Mark Lutheran (across the
street) split and the Monroe became Peace Mission Lutheran Church. Afterwards, it was a NAPA store until the structure was deemed unsafe after a storm and eventually torn down in 2004.

This dates back to at least 1993 along with the Great Escape.

If this theatre’s open, they must keep its showtimes in an highly secured vault to keep it off the internet.
This theatre does not bother to tell anyone online about its showings.
This was on Broadway just past Roxy Lane. USGS aerial posted here.

An Walmart now stands on its site. I uploaded an USGS Aerial in the photo section for this drive-in.
Did this close in 2011? No showtimes for this cinema.

Chuck, If you got the year 1955 from my website at movie-theatre.org, It means it it closed around 1955 since it was listed in 1955 and not 1961.

Strange, but the billboard says Civic.
Theatre was renamed Vee in 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.
