Garwood Theater

This small town theater was opened by 1952. It was run by Harvey A. Moore, who later worked for the Central States Theater Corp. He seems to have come to town to open the theater after working in construction.

The theater building is a buff brick structure with some glass block next to the door. At least toward the end of its run, the library was located upstairs, and when the theater closed in 1978, they moved into the main floor. It was likely at this point that the marquee was replaced by the current tacky plywood awning. It’s unknown how much of the interior survives, but the checkout desk is located in the old lobby/concession area.
