The Crute (aka State) Theatre no longer exists, either — it burned to the ground. Again, I’m not sure of the date, but I suspect it was in the early 90’s. All that remains is the back wall of the theater and the screen.
The Lee Theatre was demolished many years ago; I believe in the 1980’s. Although I don’t know its origins, it became the moviegoing alternative for African-Americans during the 50’s-70’s in the segregated town of Farmville, VA. I should note that the Crute (aka State) Theatre no longer exists, either — it burned to the ground. Again, I’m not sure of the date, but recollection tells me that it was in the early 90’s. All that remains is the back wall of the theater and the screen. I will attach a photo the listing for the Crute.
