Between the 1930s and 1950s my grandfather Albert S. “Al” Johnson built or remodeled at least sixty-four theater and drive-in jobs in Michigan. Family records show that the Algonac Theatre was one of these, but the project date was not recorded.
Al took this slide of the theater in June 1948. Because he didn’t begin photographing his projects until 1948, the date of the Johnson Construction Company job is unknown. In this image, the entrance doors and the finish of the front and side of the theater are of a style very similar to other Johnson remodeling jobs completed in the mid to late-1930s.
From the late 1950s a photo postcard view of Front Street along with the Algonac Theatre in Algonac.
Bill Schulte owned and operated the Algonac in 1960, along with the Mariner in Marine City, according to a report in Boxoffice magazine at that time.
