Pictures at this link: Casino
Made my first return to St Simons today in over a quarter of a century. While much retains the same, the Casino was demolished in the 1980s and replaced by a rather bland multipurpose entertainment venue. The photos here are of the theatre which currently occupies the site of the former Casino.
This web page has a bit of information about the Casino, and a photo showing that it was clearly not in the building that is on the site today. The old Casino was a nice Georgian Colonial Revival building.
