The 1930-1931 Gastonia city directory lists the Ideal Theatre at 159-161 W. Main Avenue. It had previously been listed at 125 or 127 W. Main.
The Center has been demolished as planned in 2009.
The local media reported that the Center will be demolished begining in January ‘09.
According to Bowers' “Encyclopedia of Automatic Musical Instruments” page 551, the “Ideal” theatre was equipped with a Reproduco organ made by the Operators Piano Co.
Anyone have any current photos of this building? Ownership status, etc.?
