Ron I believe the building they are housed in has been there since 1890 as a town hall sort of place.I agree that they did not show movies back then,it just looks good in their advertising.I believe that this was stated in Geralds post above.
Mike as stated above this theatre did not become a porno house it just showed a few x-rated films now and then,My Nashville LOEWS showed a couple of x-rated movies in my days but not what you would call triple xxx movies,in fact nowadays they would most likely be rated R.I know that the Cinema South a quad even showed a few X-rated movies beside the family movies in the same building.In the late 70s.I bet there were a few screen jumpers there.

I looked up Toccoa House Properties and yes they are rentals,with fishing nearby.
According to the map there are 4 cabins,hot tub and swimming pool at this site most likely rentals,behind does look like the remains of a drive-in.
