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.
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.
