Unfortunately in my case, they tore it down, which always seemed like a shame. It was obviously glorious at one time, but in dire disrepair.
Ours was rundown but, relatively, watertight. It needed a lot spending on it but it’s worth it as you just couldn’t build something like that right in the middle of a town these days.
Driving around my state (South Dakota), I still see some of these old theaters open in tiny towns, and it always amazes me they’re still in operation. Most of them look like they’re of questionably structural integrity.
