Final day of performances as a cinema is June 14th, 1977.
Also the building remains as of February 2024, the last time the Googlemobile passed it by, therefore it should be not listed as demolished.

John W. Freeman used G.I. Bill stimulus funds to design and then open the Center Theatre launching on September 12, 1946 with “Sentimental Journey.” It closed at the end of a 25-year leasing agreement under Stewart and Everett with Potpourri on November 22, 1971. It was used until 1977 for sporadic live theaters offerings.
