1930's Art Deco Waterfall Neon.


Not your present day home theater. The HOME Theater in Rantoul IL seems to be another old single screen theater that bit the dust. It is boarded up and doesn't appear to be used for anything. No doubt this theater was entertainment for many of the men and women that served at Chanute AFB. I searched the internet for more information but didn't come up with anything. Feel free to post any knowledge you may have.

The 1930’s-era Art Deco style Home Theatre on Sangamon Avenue operated as a single-screen movie house until closing in the late-1970’s. Its owners opened a new twin screen theater in another part of Rantoul after moving from the Home Theatre, and renamed it the Wings Twin (q.v.), in honor of the now-closed Chanute Air Force base in town.
