Closed as a normal movie theater on October 18, 1984 with “Tightrope” and “Sudden Impact”. Briefly reopened as a porn house the following day, final closure on November 1, 1984.
The Howard has been demolished after being heavily damaged in a major fire on 9/2/2025.
3 in the Photos section.
Nice bones to the facade. Any old pics?
The Howard was downtown’s “neighborhood” theater, in my day, showing films that had already had their first run in the months or years before. I saw many films at The Howard in the 50s and 60s.
Just added a 1975 photo.
As of October 2010, the building is still there, with the gate closed, vacant.
The Howard was last used as an athletic-wear store, the insignia of which still remains.
