Loew's Park Theatre

60 years ago today Loew's Park Theatre closed. This was once one of the major Uptown houses at 105th & Euclid, for several decades it would usually day-and-date with Loew's Granada on the west side. The theatre was later used as a church for the next 10-15 years, then it sat empty for about ten years before it was razed in early 1981. In late 1976 my friend Russell and I explored the place a few different times, it was pretty much left wide open then.
