Here is what the NRHP registration form for the Clifton Forge Commercial Historic District has to say about the Ridge Theatre:
The Family Theatre, which the Ridge Theatre replaced in 1929, had been called the Palace Theatre until the end of 1908. The December 26 issue of The Billboard that year said that new owner A. M. Houff had closed the house, planning to reopen it with movies as the Family Theatre on January 1. This photo depicts the Family Theatre in the 1910s.Added a photo. It was for sale in 2012. Looks vacant in the 2018 streetview.
