A 1971 aerial shows the drive-in intact, but clearly closed as it is overgrown with vegetation. By 1984, it had been completely demolished.

Today, U-Haul Moving & Storage sits on the property with no trace of the drive-in remaining.

I think this site is now a cinema, Cinemark 14 Wichita Falls?

The Exhibitor, Sept. 10, 1952: “Charles E. Darden, Associated Popcorn Distributors, Inc., reported that the highlight of his trip into west Texas was his stop at the Grant Drive-In, Wichita Falls, which has a second story viewing room, and which does walk-in business from a residential area."

The Nov. 22, 1952 issue of Boxoffice included a photo of the Grant’s twin auditoriums “air conditioned for summer, heated for winter use. The projection booth is between the two auditoriums.”
