It was closed in 2019 but remained open as a house for live performances and special events. Movies returned in October 2023 as the Maven Cinemas, screening classic movies and even played classic intermission films which is very unique to see. Unfortunately, this didn’t last long, and a small electrical fire at the common space caused the closure in early June 2024. It was announced on July 12, 2024 that the closure would be permanent.

Edited from my December 6, 2019 (11:02 AM) comment:
Taken between June 8 and 28, 1973.
A 1981 aerial view shows the drive-in but I cannot confirm if the screen was still there or an error of the shot. It was not listed in the 1986 topo.
Still visible in the 1974 aerial view, but was gone by the early-1980s.
Roof collapsed in August 1960, placed on sale in 1961.
