An article in the December 26, 2013 issue of the Anchorage Daily News says of the Center Theatre that today “…extensively remodeled, the building houses the Eagle Hotel, Restaurant and Lounge….” The Eagle Hotel is at 918 S. Colony Way.
It’s impossible to tell from the Google street view exactly which part of the now greatly expanded structure the theater occupied. It has been engulfed. It’s even possible that the theater entrance was around the corner on the Elmwood Avenue side of the building.
Is it in the centre of town?
It looks like the theater was at the southeast corner of what was then Palmer’s small downtown business district.
