The old theater probably does not have a lot of time, especially since they are improving both Hwy 87 and Friendship, making it prime development land. The 87 on the back of the screen can be seen from Hwy 87, while the projection booth/refreshment stand is more easily seen from Friendship.
The back of the screen as seen over the automobile dealership that borders right up next to it.
Screen as seen from the projection booth.
Can you see the speakers hanging from these back in the 50's and 60's? Now they're just a pile of junk.
Not much left of the projection booth/refreshment stand.
Current condition: Very little remains (signs, speaker posts, car ramps, screen structure, etc.)
Address: Hwy 87 South @ Friendship Lane Fredericksburg, Texas United States 78624
