Florida Theatre

The King Theatre had a relatively short existence, opening on April 5, 1948. On August 14, 1948 it was renamed Florida Theatre. It was closed on April 27, 1959.

Since at least 2007 it has been used as a Marine Store selling marine equipment and by 2024 it has been renamed Sailors Exchange. The building still remains but void of any traits which would identify it as a theater.
