No, the comment I’m trying to post is not spam. This is getting annoying.

I thought I’d saved the rather long comment I tried to post which was rejected as spam, but the application lost it. I won’t try to reconstruct it. The bare bones version is that the Coosa Theatre was built in 1941 by Martin Theatres, and Martin operated it until 1963. Here is a photo of the Coosa under construction.

The FDY always listed this house at 20 N. 17th Avenue, not 17th Street, but that address doesn’t exist today (nor does 17th Avenue, as far as I can tell— 16th is as high as the avenues go now, which is probably why Google Maps defaults to residential 17th Street.) I’ve checked Google street views of Childersburg but can’t find any building that would likely be the one in the 1941 photo. Wherever it actually was, the Coosa has either been demolished or remodeled beyond recognition.
