This page needs to be updated, the Palace still runs as a special events theater today (which includes concerts and sometimes films).

Watch Lyle Lovett’s “This Old Porch” or especially the video “Trucks, Tortillas and Tombstones (Part 2)” to see the Palace and all of Downtown Bryan before the rehabilitation of both.

It should also be noted that the stage area, where the screen is placed for movie showings, is actually the pre-demo Palace. I suppose more could have done more to save the entrance, but based on pictures I have seen and my faint memories, it wasn’t nearly as picturesque as the Queen or even the Dixie accross the street. Because the entire roof over the seating area collapsed, I think the city did about as good as could be expected at the time to salvage something from the ruins.

The roof actually caved in, making some demo necessary for safety reasons.
