I am posting photos of the theater taken this month (January 2007). The view is facing north. I remember seeing movies in this theater in the early 1990s. Does anyone have photos of this theater from the early to mid-1990’s?

I grew up a few blocks from this theater but can’t recall a theater being there. My earliest memory of this location is a furniture store. As a kid, I recall running around in the back of the furniture store and finding what looked to be an old theater. The next store I recall being in that location was a Fast Break convenience store, which closed after a year or two and moved across the street. The next store I recall there was the clothing store that is in one of the pics linked to above. Can someone else fill in the gaps as to what other stores were in this location? Does anyone have any pics of this theater from the 1970s or 1980s? I would love to see those. Interestingly, the pharmacy on the corner of Crescent and Broadway is called the Strand Pharmacy:
