I may be wrong, but I thought in the 1960’s when I was in college that the Park Theater was replaced by a plumbing and piping business. My grandmother used to be an assistant type manager at the Park in the fifties, but I do not remember for how long.
In 1965 the Park was a dinner theater. My fraternity had our New Year’s Eve party there. It was an Independent Theater and may not have been sold to Martin Theaters.
was it the terrill electric that moved into the old park theater in the 60s?
Richard, yes I believe that it was.
