AKA: Melody Art
The Melody Theatre was opened on January 1, 1948. It operated as a movie theatre with occasional church services held on Sunday. Used in 1971-1972 as a concert venue. Then it became an adult move theatre soon after. It was eventually shut down by the city in 1997 for illegal activity, and was considered non-salvageable and was demolished on August 19, 1999. The site of the theatre is now the cement company next door, as it has expanded. [Sean Doerr]
