Thanks for the photo upload! Someone beat me to it.
I don’t know the exact year of closing, but I have spoken with locals who remember going there in the early ‘70s. It was open until at least 1973, based on my sources.
The address of this theater was approximately 205 North Main Street, London, KY (definitely in the odd 200s). The brick building across the side street (on the left side of the photo) is the north wall of what was Weaver’s Hot Dogs (the building was destroyed by fire in February 2015), located at 131 North Main Street, on the corner of North Main and what used to be West 6th (which is the one-way side street going down behind the theater in the photo). West 6th as it appears in the photo no longer exists, and did not exist at the time of the Weaver’s fire; there was a parking lot that nestled right up to the Weaver structure at the time of the fire. The parking lot is still there, and on some maps, the ingress and egress to the parking area is marked as West 6th, although it is a different alignment from the time of the Reda Theater; parking lot access is approximately where the box office was.
This location is re-opening under the management of Golden Ticket Cinemas. They were supposed to open around June 28th, 2021, but now are delayed until after the July 4th holiday.
