Ken it was next door.

Now Clearlake Tribal Health Center @ 14440 Olympic Dr, Clearlake, CA 95422.

Please update. DeVita was where the screen stood.

Bouldin, who erected and operated the outdoor theatre last summer.” (They opened in June 1955 and closed for the season in November.)

Found It!

The address is 14400 Olympic Dr, Clearlake, CA. A 1956 aerial photo shows the drive-in operational, but by 1993 it was demolished.

Today, DaVita Clearlake Dialysis sits where the screen once stood. The rest of the property is an empty field where you can just make out the faintest hints of ramps.
