The current building in Google Street View at this location is identical to the building in the picture. Although extensively remodeled, the number of upper window openings and doors are the same. I don’t think it was demolished.
The tag on this theatre says it was demolished, yet a Google search had a November 2001 photo of this address. A “Letter to the Editor” of a 1939 issue of LIFE Magazine caught my eye. Roy T. Hill, the manager of the 246 seat theatre, wrote a small bit regarding Warner Bros selecting his STATE THEATRE and State Center (population 1,012) for the “world’s premiere” of their film “Pride of the Bluegrass”.
