Sometime between October 2018 and April 2021 the marquees were taken down. In fact, most of the items on the property were removed.

The Princess was at one time a hard-top theatre which opened in 1926 with a seating capacity of 200. It was later expanded to accommodate 330 in 1934. The theater was destroyed by fire on April 13, 1965. The Princess Drive-In came into being at a later date.

I’ll swing down there in the next few months and get some pictures of this one, the Graves in Perry, and the Chief in Chiefland.

Great aerial view of the remains of the Drive-In on the Map.

Held 200 cars.

Open in ~1969? Care to verify the exact dates?

Anyone have more info or photos?
