My grandmother ran Clark theater for a number of years, and then my father took over until it went the way of many other small town theaters and closed up shop. I can tell you it was open well past 1951 since I was born in 1963 and went to many movies there in my childhood. I’m guessing it closed around 1970, though I’m not sure of the exact year.
Mike, it’s not a parking lot, but it was torn down and another city building now sites on the lot.
Chris, thanks for the extra info. I never knew the past history.
