Address is wrong. 460 is either a house or a parking lot. 452 on the 2011 street view looks like it certainly could have been a small theater. It was gone by 2016.

There is no Westwego Arts Center. There is a Westwego Community Center at 177 Sala. It is home to the Westwego Performing Arts Theatre. It’s a bizarre dryvit fake retro thing, but the website claims it’s historic. Looks more like the front was demolished and the auditorium remodeled, rather than the other way around.
