The Alvin Drive-In was located at the northeast intersection of S. Gordon Street and South Street. It opened on December 14, 1950 with Dean Stockwell in “The Happy Years”. It was operated by J.G. Long Theatres of Dallas, TX. for its entire existence. In 1961, Hurricane Carla damaged the screen tower. Repairs were made and it reopened a month later. It was closed in the late-1960’s. The screen tower stood for many years after closing, but demolition eventually came. An H-E-B Grocery store now stands on the site.

Opened on December 14, 1950 with Dean Stockwell in “The Happy Years” (unknown if extras added).
An alternate address is 1623 S Gordon St, Alvin, TX.
This places it about where the ticket booth once stood. A 1955 aerial shows the drive-in connecting to both South Gordon and West South Streets.
