From The Terror website:Announcement of plans to build a new Crim Theater was made in 1937, and actual construction began in the fall of 1938 with the grand opening held on Wednesday, June 21, 1939, at 8:00pm. It was designed in the streamlined art deco style popular at that time and was called a “modern-classic building.”
It had closed by 1989. In 2015 the neon has been restored on the façade of the building and is illuminated at night. The building however, sits vacant.
One screen and 875 seats.
