The Rialto Theater was operating prior to 1941, and continued until at least 1950.

Pretty run down, and ready to be demolished. From its appearance, it’s been abandoned for quite a number of years.

Only 2 blocks from the main street in town and across the street from the town’s “community center” building which is in a similar state of neglect.

All the top windows are broken so it is just getting weathered and rotten inside.
