Navaway Was Built 1939 Demolished 1976. The Name Comes From The Location(Navigation BLVD. And Wayside DR.)It Was Located On 6714 Navigation BLVD.
Opened on November 22, 1939. Street is Navigation, not Navagation. At opening had 725 seats. Architect was E.E. O'Donnell.
The Navaway Theatre’s premier feature was “Man of Conquest†with Richard Dix and Joan Fontaine.
It looks like the street was corrected but the architect still needs to be added.
This theater was not demolished in 76.. I remember it standing until about 1983. It was in real bad shape. Hurricane Alicia was the final nail in the coffin. It was demolished not long after as it was heavily damaged from the storm
Wasn’t there another theater closer to downtown called the Navigation or the Canal?
Grand opening ad posted. Closed 1965.
