sinister1 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Who knows what this use to be? It's just off of Lyons Avenue, just on the other side of Ryon's Addition in the Fifth Ward. http://i861.photobucket.com/albums/ab171/djsoss1980/UnknonwtheateronLyonsAve.jpg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Looks like a movie theater. They were all over the place in the early days. Usually the only building with refrigerated air in the 30's, according to my Dad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucesw Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The DeLuxe. I'm pretty sure it's been discussed here before in one of the threads on cinemas; you could try the search feature.I think there's been some recent news about it, too.

sinister1 Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Cool I looked it up on Hairball and they are going to renovate it. Thanks guys, I would pass it up and be like, " I wonder what that building use to be"? I knew I came to the right place for answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaE Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 It's one of the few left to renovate! They need to save it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLWM8609 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 It's always nice to see an old theater from that era being saved.http://www.chron.com/life/article/Fifth-Ward-theater-s-renovation-part-of-5242725.php?cmpid=houtexhcat#photo-5899566 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
