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. The overall style is similar to the jobs that Johnson Construction Company completed in the late 1930s and early 1940s. The slide was labeled by my grandfather as “Majestic Richmond.”
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.
