The Historical Society of Delaware decided to demolish the Arcadia, but they decided to landscape the site and the Delaware History Museum is next to the Arcadia site in a former Woolworth’s. The Delaware History Museum was recently reopened after a renovation.

The site was bought by the Historical Society of Delaware. They had it demolished in 1965.

Can anyone give me info on the Cinemart on Gov Prinz? I can’t find any info anywhere, but, I stop to look at it every time I’m in the area. What a mystery. The only thing I can tell is that I was built in the 60’s due to the chandelier and font on the front sign.
