Scroll downtown and it is south of Woolworth’s. You can also see where the Playhouse was located.
The postcard lostmemory linked to shows that the State Theatre’s entrance was in the narrow building between what is now the Bank of Granite, 207 S. Center Street, and the City Center Building, 211 S. Center Street. The theater’s address must have been 209 S. Center Street, not N. Center Street.
Opened March 3rd, 1939.
