Opened on December 7th, 1949. Grand opening ad posted.
The floor was bleached white and changed into a spanish church. The balcony is still fully intact. Just posted some pictures.
From Houston a photo of the Granada Theater.
The Granada Theater opened at 11:45 a.m. on December 7, 1949. The premier feature was “You’re My Everything†with Dan Dailey and Anne Baxter. Opening day ads for the theater exhorted you to “Give yourself a treat! You’ve never seen anything like Houston’s new, modern, magnificent Granada.†The correct address is 9231 Jensen Drive, Houston, 77093.
on a recent visit to Houston, peered in through the glass doors. saw some spanish religious signage, which leads me to believe that this place may have been some sort of mexican church for a bit before it was locked up. the porch area smelled of must and urine. very sad. i wish i could get in there for 15 minutes…
Here is a 1949 photo:
