The Rainbow Theatre was located at 233 N. Main St., Marion, SC. The right Zip code is 29571. The 29574 in the header is for Mullins, SC.

Map marker is wrong, and the address is wrong. It was at 313 N Main. Demolished years ago for a really ugly bank.

According to the NRHP listing for downtown, it was built in 1924. Can we get more information for the listing?

I think it was renamed Rainbow very late in life. The picture I linked to is likely from the early ‘70s, and the theater still has a marquee which says 'Marion’ on it.
