The Larkfield Drive-In, just east of the Grove City limits, operated from 1947 to 1980. According to the Grove City Historical Society, the name Larkfield Drive-In Theater was registered by Chester and Lavonne Demarsh on May 15, 1947. It held 300 cars. In 1975-80 it was owned by the Cinemette Corporation of America.
On June 15, 2019, the Larkfield’s brick screen tower was demolished to make way for a Dollar General store, according to a story the following week in the Allied News of Grove City. The article said that William DeMarsh built the Larkfield Drive-In in 1946.

Boxoffice, Sept. 15, 1958: “William and Chester DeMarsh, who recently opened their new Pioneer Drive-In on Route 8 about five miles north of Butler, are moving their Grove City Firestone store the the concrete screen tower building at their Larkfield Drive-In near Grove City. The father-and-son team has operated a recapping plant near the Larkfield for some time. The DeMarshes said that they will have their Firestone business in three floors of the Larkfield screen building before Christmas.”
