This was a neighborhood theatre in scenic Chagrin Falls, OH. Parts of the theatre were filmed for a 1979 made for TV film “The Gathering”. The theatre closed in the early-1980’s and was torn down for a parking lot.

I grew up in Chagrin Falls and would love an old photo of the Falls. I have a brick from the building when it was torn down. If anyone knows where I can locate a photo I would appreciate it.
Thanks

We’d all like to see a photo of the Falls.

I have neighbors from Chagrin Falls so will have to ask them of their Falls Theatre memories!
Still would like to see a photo(s)! And I had forgotten that it was torn down for a PARKING LOT!
From Boxoffice Magazine, November 28, 1977: “There will be five benefit showings of ‘The Gathering’ at the Falls Theatre in Chagrin Falls, where it was filmed.”
And from Boxoffice of August 27, 1979: “The Chagrin Falls Theatre has been torn down to make way for a new office building in Chagrin Falls….”
The town was not left without an indoor theater when the Falls was demolished, though. A 248-seat house called the Tanglewood Cinema had opened in the Tanglewood Shopping Center in 1973.
I just received a lovely Christmas card depicting this former theatre. It was a lovely theatre and one that should have been preserved for future generations!
The card shows it has a red brick building, but the photos posted above shows the brick having been painted a white or light blue color. Such a shame to lose this one for a PARKING LOT? Shameful Chagrin!
Still hoping to see a photo of this theatre. Hard to believe that scenic Chagrin Falls once had a neighborhood theatre that the residents have let be lost to the ages.
Built in 1915 and closed on July 1, 1979 with “Love At First Bite”.
