So West Haven used to have 8 theaters, but they’re all gone now. Sad. Where do these people go for entertainment? The city couldn’t even keep ONE for a community center?

Hey gabby648, I don’t know if you’re still interested, just letting you know I added a photo of the Park Theatre, and about 20 more photos of theatres around New Haven, as well.

Has anyone ever seen a picture of this Park Theatre? I’m searching for one and more history to preserve it for the town.

The current storefronts are a barber, package store, Cosmetology Academy and an Indian restaurant. On the right side in the back is a small garage door, maybe from another use when it closed.

In the rear, it’s apparent that the current stucco was just spackled on carelessly as it’s chipping off everywhere to expose the original brickwork underneath.
