The building stood past 1970 as J&W Lanes. I just added a 1973 photo credit Scott Cisco, which has a `73 Pontiac parked across the street from the former theatre.

I added the photo from the below link that shows the Dream Theatre on Station Street looking South from 25th Street. The photo is mid `50s despite the description, and the marquee still showed as Dream Theatre then.

Mid `60s Vintage Kodachrome Slide added credit Martin Plucinski. Narrowed down as Morganfield’s Morgan Theatre based on P'Pools Auto Supply which was another Morganfield business. Presumably located on Morgan Street, but a lot has been cleared away over the years.
