Information for this tour was contributed by Bob Meza.

The front of this theater is frozen in time, having shown its last movie in 1976 and locking the doors. The inside has been remodeled as a community hall with the stage still intact. The floor is now level with tables and chairs, or can be cleared for dancing. There is a cafe next door that now joins the building so that it can be used as a place to hold weddings, etc.

Built around 1930 or so, this theater has a very narrow lobby, about eight feetwide, just behind the ticket booth entrance. Note that the snack bar is located in the rear of the auditorium because the lobby was too small. It still has original projection equipment and the balcony is still intact.
