The Rialto Theatre closed in 1954 without converting to widescreen presentations. The building was sold six months later to Goodyear Local 2. They used it for country music jamborees in the late 1950s. It was later renamed as Goodyear Local 2 Hall / Building housing meetings and community service events. Local 2 decided to move to new digs in 1984 with Goodyear Corp. buying the building and having it demolished for a proposed park.
The November 15, 1919, issue of Motion Picture News had an item about the Rialto in East Akron:
