Two 1993 photos of the demolished 7th Street Theater here and here. Fort Worth you could saved this classic, landmark movie theater.
I miss this theater. Very humble and laid back. Excellent service and very true to its standards. Sure don’t make them like this anymore…
This news article is dated 10/12/02:
FORT WORTH—The shell of the historic 7th Street Theatre could be bulldozed as early as Monday if the nonprofit group that owns the property opts to reactivate its demolition permit. What’s left of the building, at 3128 W. Seventh St., has been protected from demolition for the past six months in hopes that an alternative use could be found. That stay expires at midnight tonight, clearing the way for the FPA Foundation to reinstitute its demolition certificate.
