Looks like 2 doors on the back of that screen?

A closer address is 4296 NY-417, Allegany, NY.

Google Maps has updated their addresses and this puts it right on the property.

The drive-in was still standing in 2002, but overgrown and in poor shape. By 2006, it was totally demolished.

Today, the outline, ramps, marquee, and foundation of the projection booth/concession stand remain.

Opened on 8/7/1949 with 2 colour cartoons(not named), “Arizona” and “Blondie’s anniversary”. 850 cars. Site owned by Living Waters Church, undeveloped as of yet. The marquee is still there, along with the ramps and fountains of the screen and snack bar(and ticket booth and bio box?).

In the 1960’s and ‘70s the Allegany Drive In was operated by Nino Bordinaro who at that time also operated the Palace and Olean Theatres in downtown Olean, the Limestone Drive-In in Limestone and in 1972 built the Portville Drive In on the east side of Olean. According to rumors the Portville Drive In was supposedly to be the replacement for the Allegany Drive In. However the Allegany Drive In continued in operation until 1995.
