Cinema Treasures

The old Blanco Theatre opened in 1936. The theatre has been closed since 1958. Up until 2003 the building had been used as a church.

A building permit was issued in May of 2003 to rehab the theatre. It doesn’t state for what purpose. It is going to take a great deal of time and money to complete the job from the shape the building is in.
