Going up the hill from lower Belle Vernon, approximately halfway up begins North Belle Vernon. Westmoreland/Fayette Counties. State Street, turning up Broad.
I have a picture of the Palace Theater, the fourth motion picture theater in the United States. How do I add it in here? It was in a copy of the Valley Independent newspaper.
from Rueben Fear : yes indeed, became the Menlo when the Moody-Dickinson chain bought it. The first floor theater was totally ripped out to make storerooms. It had a rising floor (the screen backwards on the front of the room).
The local kids nick-named it the “Ranch House”. It largely showed B movies and serials. The lion head awning supports are still in place and the white brick points to the original location… HankDevigne
