Newspaper listings for the Villa Heights ended in 1977, just before the Gateway cinemas opened.

You can still make out the ramps and foundation for the concession stand/projector booth. From the aerial photos, the property was mostly abandoned by the 1990s until 2008 when a residential or commercial structure was built.

Possibly closed in 1980?
