Address was 242 E. Main Street. Amboy Food & Liquor is now on that site, which was previously a hardware store in the 2013 street view. The 5 buildings to the left of where the Amboy Theatre once stood remain as they appear in the old photo.
Several years ago, I saw a Bronze plaque on the front of an old Bld. in Amboy on Main St. Home of The first Carson Pirie Scott store.
OK, that’s a little redundant from Chuck’s comment at the top. Apologies. Blame it on anticipation of a long holiday weekend.
In 1963, the Marchesi brothers owned the Amboy. August Marchesi was president and film buyer. Other Marchesi theaters in Illinois were the Times in Savanna and the Town in Prophetstown.
