Boxoffice, March 11, 1974: “The Rig Theatre, which was built in Borger, Tex., in 1926, has been demolished by the city to make way for a decorative walkway connecting Hutchinson County Library, the City Hall and the Borger Police Department with the 600 block of Main Street. About 1,000 seats were encased in the two-story red brick structure. A model oil rig decorated the marquee in front of the theatre entrance. The oil derrick was about 15 feet tall and was made of wood and metal with decorative lights”
