We should update the listing with the information Joe found. I’ll add the ‘other’ Levon. This one was never called the Enfield.
I noticed that the draft itself is dated 5/12/21, so is quite new. If it hasn’t been submitted to the NRHP yet, the authors would probably appreciate knowing that this building housed the Levon Theatre, since they appear to be unaware of that.
Thanks for finding the draft. Took a quick look for NRHP listings and didn’t see one.
The draft of the NRHP application for the Enfield Historic District (PDF here) dates the building at 200 Whitfield Street to 1949, the year it appears in County tax records, and says that it was probably built as a movie theater, though it doesn’t mention the theater name. Interestingly, the document says that the Levon Theatre was in a building at 114 Whitfield Street which had been occupied by the Randolph Store in the 1930s and became the location of a law firm in 1948. The Levon must have moved to 200 Whitfield in 1948, and then the law firm took over the newly vacant space at 114.
