The Academy Theaters chain ran this theater in 1948. Owners were leo, Betty & Milton Yassenoff.

Does that mean that this theater was still open at that time?

Sadly, knowing that part of town, it is likely to stay boarded up. That isn’t a very safe place to be after dark.

As of February 2009 the building is still there, vacant and boarded up just like in the picture.

It’s sad to see a building like this abandoned rather than converted to some other use.

When was this last a theatre? I do not remember ever seeing advertisements for it when I lived in Columbus (1968-75).

I grabbed the comments from Google, and I’ll attempt to rebuild them. Still don’t know why things just went away.
