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.
From the July 16, 1949 issue of BoxOffice:
CRAWFORDSVILLE, ILL. (sic) – The 600-car C-Ville Drive-In has been opened east of town on the Lebanon road. RCA equipment is in use. An aluminum fence encloses the area and an aluminum sign marks the entrance. The theatre is managed by Jack Cook. Associates with Cook are Joe Million of Veedersburg and Peter J. Fortune and Otto Elbert of Indianapolis.
