If this theatre’s open, they must keep its showtimes in an highly secured vault to keep it off the internet.

rivest266 commented about Monroe Theatre on Jun 30, 2012 at 6:48 am

This landed in my email:

I’ve been doing a little research on the Monroe Theatre (204 South St.) in Monroeville, Indiana. My Great Grandparents, George and Betty Fellers, were the 2nd owners till they sold it around 1957. I believe it operated as a theatre for several more years when the congregation of St. Mark Lutheran (across the street) split and the Monroe became Peace Mission Lutheran Church. Afterwards, it was a NAPA store until the structure was deemed unsafe after a storm and eventually torn down in 2004.

Chuck, If you got the year 1955 from my website at movie-theatre.org, It means it it closed around 1955 since it was listed in 1955 and not 1961.
