Since there aren’t enough podcasts in the world, I started one called “Chicago History Podcast” which you can find on Apple, Google, Spotify, and more. In episode one I cover this very theater. I’ll be posting some of the materials I found over the next few days. Have a listen!

I added a few articles from local papers about the Westmont Theatre which shows it existed as a cinema until late 1962 / early 1963 before the building was converted to a bank.
