A closer address is 3141 Johnston St, Lafayette, LA.

This puts it right on The Grand 16 which sits on the property and uses the same entrance as the old drive-in.

On May 4, 1955, one of the two 65ft screens was badly damaged by a fire, with an estimate $3,000 in damage. It was later rebuilt that same year.
