According to the website phillyhistory.org, which is the City of Philadelphia official department of records website, pictures showing demolition of the Strand, Germantown Ave and Venango Street were taken in February 1961.
Today’s Phillyhistory site shows the Strand Movie (before shots, demolition supposedly inevitable) on 8/29/1960. On the historicaerials.com website, by 1967 the site is clearly a parking lot. Was 1971 an incorrect date for demolition of this theater?
