20th Avenue is a residential street. This address would’ve been a few feet off Nebraska Avenue, which is a major neighborhood street. Doing a Google Street View, it appears that this theater, as well as the house next door, are long gone.
The building was most recently owned by a church. They only did minimal maintenance, as the roof collapsed while being examined by the city building inspector. The building was condemned in August 2009.

I stopped by in March 2010. The drive-in is pretty rundown and was still closed for the season.

Stopped by yesterday. Not much has changed, except that the lot has many small trees.

My information came solely from this website and Google Maps. I’d never been to Quitman before the day I took that picture.
This is a picture from December 2009.
Here are some pictures taken right after it closed.
