I saw Godzilla vs. Megalon at the State in 1976 when it was released in the US… It was playing mostly “B” movies, and I don’t think it lasted much longer.

This building IS NOT demolished. It is currently a cafe. Also, the correct address is 838 NW 23rd St, Portland Oregon.

Here’s a Google Map linky, you can clearly see it’s the same building…
