This movie theater was built in the thirties and has been closed for years. The attached restaurant was open not long ago, but the whole building is now slated for demolition. It looks like it'll be happening soon, the exterior tiles have been removed, and the "Danger due to demolition" sign is up.

It's been renovated and is now an operating cinema. Wish I could have went before it was repurposed.

Shame to see demo sign up.. I bet interiors would be interesting, but I can see why its tightly boarded it would turn into Squatters Paradise one POE later lol Nice find anyway!

I would like to see the interior, it was probably renovated in the 70's & never touched since. Oh if it only had the 30's original look inside.

That's true. They keep these buildings buttoned up pretty tight downtown. I don't really like to go in to these buildings due to the possibility of running in to squatters. Not that there's hardly ever any way in. I'm glad I got to document it here though before it's demolished.
