The original 60ft screen suffered damage by a fire on November 17, 1949. An engineer for the Crawfordsville Fire Department first witnessed the fire while doing a routine fire prevention check at the drive-in itself before it was quickly put out a few minutes later.

It appears that the theater was demolished in the 1970s.
