Here are some recent photos of the first Terminal/Mode.

Thanks Brian. I was a bit confused by the references to the two “Terminals.” The Terminal I knew growing up in the late forties and fifties (going back several decades as shown in a picture of this theater on this site) was the large theater on the South side of the street (with the large vertical marquee), while the Metro was on the North side closer to Kimball Ave. When did the Terminal change its name to the Metro?

This was originally the first Terminal theater, listed under that name on this site. That page should probably refer only to the second Terminal, at 3315. The first Terminal was designed by Henry L. Newhouse.

The Metro was actually between Christiana (not Spaulding) and Kimball Aves. a bit closer to Kimball. It closed around 1953.
