Hollywood Theater

Located in Petoskey’s Gaslight District, the building that housed the Hollywood Theater was originally a local department store built in the last half of the 19th century. The theater opened in 1925 and closed in October 1972 and was apparently a seasonal operation, operating in the summer tourist season as Petoskey and the surrounding communities have long been resort communities. After closing on May 9, 1978 with Bette Davis in “Return from Witch Mountain”, the space has been used for a cluster of retail oprations.

The former theater’s small vertical sign remained on the building for many years.
