The Hudson Theatre was opened on July 9, 1927 with Clara Bow in “Rough House Rosie”. It was closed in 1967. It was reopened on May 2, 1970 as the New Hudson Theatre screening adult movies. This theatre looks to have been last used as a church, but as of late-2006 the building had not been in use for a while. The auditorium was demolished in June 2018.

Went by today and noticed a large portion of the roof has collapsed in the back of the theater over the stage/screen area. The walls are still standing for now. It’s fairly easy to get a look inside. Appears the scrappers have been at it finally able to get inside easily. Not too promising for the new owner I fear.
Auditorium part of the theater has been demolished.
What is it being replaced with?
NOTHING so far.
Building has been leased and will be turned into a bar and music venue hopefully by September of this year.
This opened on July 9th, 1927. Small article opened
This closed in 1967 and reopened as “The New Hudson Theatre” showing adult movies on May 2nd, 1970. Another ad posted.
Plans have been submitted to the City of Columbus for approval to turn this location into a live music venue. Only the front portion of the theatre remains, so much construction will have to take place. No timeline has been given for completion after permits are complete.
Nothing going on here. Still derelict. Don’t see how a music venue would make it there. Is no parking and a run down neighborhood.
It was still operating as a church when I lived in the neighborhood in the 1980’s. One friend told me he’d go there to watch double-features in the 60’s.
