Thanks..I wish I had some pictures of it when it first open in 1941. I bet it had outside blast speakers.

Drive-In 54, these are wonderful photos. Thanks so much for sharing. First time I have ever seen shots of what it looks like. Again, thank, wsasser

Uploaded some new pictures of the Stockade Auto-Torium. I think they are from the late 1950’s. It looks like they are repairing part of the fence.

The Virginia Gazette says it was the second drive-in to be built in Virginia and the sixth to be built in America.

Was owned by Cecil S. Houck.
