A street view of the Majestic Theatre is shown in slide that my grandfather Al Johnson shot in 1948. It shows a small older building with a very modest marquee and exterior. The overall style is similar to the jobs that Johnson Construction Company completed in the late-1930-s and early-1940’s. The slide was labeled by my grandfather as “Majestic Richmond” and is dated May 1948.

A street view of the Majestic Theatre at 69080 Main Street is shown in slide that Al Johnson Sr. shot in May 1948. It shows a small older building with a very modest marquee and exterior.

Because our family’s research into our grandfather’s theater jobs is incomplete, we can only assume that - because Al shot the Kodachrome slide and the exterior resembles other Johnson theater projects - this too was one of his jobs.
The CinemaTour website, which is the only site that I’ve found with a reference to the Majestic, simply lists the “Majestic Theatre” in “Richmond, MI” and the fact that it’s closed: https://www.cinematour.com/tour/us/37079.html
Commentators on the “Memories of Growing Up in Richmond!!” Facebook page say that, after the Majestic Theatre closed, the building housed Richmond Automotive, and then a business called Laser Mark-It. That business is still open in the original theater building in March 2021.
