Hello Jeff. As you may hay noticed the question has come up about the possiblilty of the Palace having had its name changed to the State(my posting) at some point in time. I don’t think this is the case but have just read your posting for the first time and you mention “sharp 1936 exterior and interior photographs of the Palace.”
I do not see any evidence to dispute or confirm that this Palace was in Lubbock as per the Star Archives website. I hope someone can confirm that it was the Lubbock Palace as it would be the first photo I have ever seen of it.
I can confirm this was not the STATE, because it was not located on a corner lot.
Great photo on the link posted by Mark. I especially like the hardware store to the left of the RIG that advertises hardware, furniture and “explosives”.
It does not look good for the magnificent CAPITAN. We were there and took pictures 3/19/07. It still looks great on the outside, but is trashed on the inside and has gradually become isolated in an industrial area. The only thing that will save this one is lots of $$$$. Also the city of Houston is no longer turning the neon on. (Please take a look at the link KenRoe posted above for a night-time view.)

Are these available somewhere online to view?

Hello. Did you happen to bookmark the spot where you found the IRIS photograph in the Center for American History?
Thanks……….

Actually Livingston is kind of a neat little town.

Hi Chelsea. You certainly have an ambitious vision, however you need about a $1,000,000 extra to start with.
Good Luck!!
