Both 1987 and 1988 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory, but I cannot tell its condition. Cowan Oldham Lane was created shortly after closure.
Still open in the mid-1980s, as 1983, 1985 and 1986 aerial views show the drive-in with its screen and glory and appearing to be in good shape and condition. It was already closed in the 1998 aerial view as most traces were faded and the concession building appears to be turned into something else, with a small parking lot as an addition. The screen remained standing at the time until sometime in the early-2000s. I don’t know if its gone, fell into disrepair in the trees, or turned into foundations.
The concession building managed to stand in the 1980 aerial as well, but was already turned into foundations by the following year.
