Information for this tour was contributed by Darren Snow. Built from plans laid out by Motiograph, Inc., the Riverview Drive-In opened on May 18, 1950. A feature article in the 1950-51 "Theater Catalog" detailed the interesting screen tower configuration: Living quarters were located underneath the tower, and there was a stage in front for live entertainment. The $100,000 theater, with a capacity of 700 cars, was owned by R.L. Gaines, Gene Bickers, Harry Berge and William Gentry; their first manager was Walter L. Wood. After the drive-in was demolished, Dow-Corning built a plant on the site.
