Sorry, this isn’t the jewelry store, either. It’s the red brick thing on the corner.
Okay, this listing needs to be split. The picture is the Joy. The building now has a Liberty St address, but that’s because an entrance was placed on the side when it was converted to offices in 1989. The address when it was a theater would have been on E Marion St. The description is wrong, this was never county offices. 34 S Liberty is a block south, on the other side of the street. It is now the chancery court. No idea when the Cinema One closed.
Actually, the address might belong to a theater mentioned in the NRHP listing, but it was not called the Joy. The photo is on Marion, not Liberty. The note in the historic district writeup for 34 S Liberty says it’s a commercial building from the ‘20s, converted to the 'Cinema One’ in the ‘80s. It has obviously since closed.
Address is wrong. Should be on E Marion St. Number might be 18.
