The Martin Theater in Clifton AZ was damaged in the 1983 flood of the San Francisco River but was remodeled and used for a training center until a few years ago. The abandoned building is in the process of being demolished now.
Frank C. Martin opened the Princess Theatre in 1912 in Clifton, Arizona. But in 1940 he decided the theatre couldn’t be updated anymore so built this venue, the Martin, right next door. Opening in 1940, the 500 seat facility built for $35,000 replaced the Princess (see photos). The Princess Theatre building was converted to O'Connell’s Men’s Shop opening in 1941.
