The Lake Theatre was built in the early 50’s by my Dad JJ Nelson and Don Obert. I have home movies of them tearing down the scaffolding in front as the building was completed on the outside. Not sure of the exact year it closed. Sorenson’s bought it and took over but don’t know what year. Father Nelson bought it and was going to make something out of it but never happened. He had made the projector room and the rest of the upstairs into apartments. The lower section I was told was filled in with cement and is now used for storage for the Country Store.
