An unusual, though not totally unique design as the screen sat on the opposite side of a creek well away from the ramps. The small projection booth sat in front of the ramps while the concession stand was next to the road.
I see no evidence that the marquee made it into the 2000s. The historic aerials show no marquee, although it may have been next to or near the concession stand.
There is the “Welcome to Monticello” sign that has a brick base not unlike many drive-in marquees, but it was not present in 1965 and does not show up until 1983.
1492 N Hyatt St. A post office now stands on the site although it appears from street view that the roadside marquee is still there.
