A closer address is 245 Black Bottom Rd, Jeremiah, KY.
This places it right on the property as the church uses the same entrance as the drive-in.
The drive-in appears intact in a 1983 aerial. The screen is on the south side with the projection booth/concession stand and possibly ticket booth all combined in one building on the north side of the property.
A 1995 aerial shows the larger building on the north side gone, but a new projection booth/concession stand in the middle of the drive-in. The drive-in was demolished sometime between 2004 and 2006.
Today, the church sits on the north side of the property with two private residences on the south side. There is no trace of the drive-in remaining.
