Built in 1976. Fort Devens was partly closed in 1996 and so was the theater, but it is still standing in June of 2013. Named for Major General Harry Foote Hodges.

The theater is located straight East of the intersection of MacArthur Avenue & Givry Street.
Bob- Was the theater built in 1976? The base itself, as Camp Devens, was opened around World War I, not in 1976. I was on Army Reserve duty there many times between 1957 and 1966 and went to the movies at the “post theater”, which was a typical large wood-frame building,painted pale yellow, and built to standard Army plans. I don’t remember the name of the street on which it was located.
