elsewhere online I’ve seen a color photo of this old paulina theatre, well almost, because it came from the days after it’d been converted to a bowling alley (‘60s?). And I remember it, though at the time I didn’t know its original purpose. I’m rather surprised it’s not included here on cinema treasures anyway, because it seems to be all that survives

Does anyone out there have any photos of this theater? I currently live on Paulina and have long wondered what stood in the place of the awful stripmall there now. It would be greatly appreciated if someone can either post a photo or direct me where there might be one. Thannks!

It was a bowling alley for a while. Evergreen Bowl. I lived on Julian St. nearby from 41 to 62. It was our family night theatre growing up and have a lot of fond memories of the theatre and the neighborhood.

This was another very early Rapp & Rapp house.
