This was probably a short-lived drive-in. The theater was built sometime in the mid-1960s.
Now The Friends of the Jacksonville University book store. Please update.
Davidcoppock, it was down the street from Jacksonville University, which also happened to be the street name, University Blvd., which both the Drive-In and Jacksonville University used as their address.
Is it near a university?
This theatre served as Eastern Federal’s District Office for many years, until the late 1970’s when they sold the land to K-Mart to build a super center on the same footprint. The University Drive-In was the subject of a Court Case that went to the Supreme Court: .Erznoznik v. City of Jacksonville, 422 U.S. 205 (1975), is a United States Supreme Court.
A K-Mart was built on the site. Now the building is used as a library.
