Foto's Folly predates any other theater in the Algiers section of New Orleans. Constructed before the Depression, the Folly was host to live stage acts, motion pictures as well as numerous major political events. Closed by the 1950's, this large wooden theater is currently being used as a Baptist Church. The structure is in pristine condition, but the marque and external stairs to the balcony have been removed.
The Folly is located within blocks of the Abalon and Algy theaters. The Abalon, Algy and Folly have all been externally restored, but are no longer used as movie theaters.
