Capacity for the Renfro was 500, according to the Motion Picture and Television Almanac.

I think it was also owned by Tom Moyer Luxury Theatres for its last several (?) years or so. I recall reading somewhere that Moyer’s running the place into the ground, so to speak, was what prompted its closure.
