I wish I could remember when it closed but 1998 sounds about right. Here is link of photo at my flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/patricia_assorted_pics/3093439077/in/set-72157607065287311

GCC must have built at least 20 of these.
This cinema did not close in 2001. It was shut down sometime in 1998.
