A 1985 aerial view shows the theater most likely with its screen and glory, but looks like it appeared to be closed as a small building was placed between the screen and the traces. The screen was gone by 1996 and was replaced by a building. As of 2026, half of the traces were turned into parking lots and the original sign appears to still stand but a little customized.
Opened with Lois Butler in “Mickey” on May 30, 1951
