The Superior Theatre was opened on October 29, 1937 with James Cagney in “Something to Sing About”. It was closed in 1960.
It stood unused until 1963 when it was converted into a car dealership. It had become a hardware store by 1997 and by 2003 the marquee and decorative tower were removed from the facade.

I love that they retained the sleek deco top of the theater and the sides. Sad that not one theater remains in Superior?!
The marquee and tower are now completely gone, the building is now a boring brown. The architect, per the Docomomo US MN Registry, was Perry E. Crosier, prodigious architect of area cinemas.
Opened on October 29th, 1937, and closed or stopped its ads in 1960. Grand opening ad posted.
