The Floyd County newspaper shows that the Palace Theatre was located on West California Street. They opened their doors for business in July 1929. J.G. Deakins was the manager.
A home was built into the theater portion of the building with garage and entrance on the back side. Two front areas were left for retail and have had numerous stores in them. An attorney now offices there I believe.
In 2002 a mail-order Texas products company then based in Floydada utilized the former theater lobby as a holiday outlet store. The firm sold to a company located in East Texas. We had a great time decorating the store and I put the marquee in a television commercial. We had to clean and paint the old letters and repair some of the milkglass.
Here are photos (note the ticket booth was indoors and the arch to the right was the entrance to the theater and concession area.
