Built in 1948 by Harold Willis, the Ruskin Theater was the hub of entertainment for the surrounding communities. Since closure, the theatre has been used for various purposes, including a thrift store. One positive aspect is that this historic building is located within the Downtown Ruskin Redevelopment Plan area.
I believe that anything salvagable has been removed, The owner put a new roof on several years ago, and painted the exterior, but I saw a hole in the side wall last month and a bobcat parked outside with debris waiting for a dumpster. If anyone really wanted to they could build a 10 screen in the old Kmart Plaza across from the Ruskin Drive in.
