Wellston, Ohio – Louvee Theater Then and Now
Ohio Avenue, Wellston, Ohio Postcard
I found a listing for this postcard on eBay, and immediately noticed the Louvee Theater marquee. While visiting Wellston, Ohio last summer, my mother and I took the following photo:

According to CinemaTour, the Louvee operated from 1937-2003. While once booming, the downtown area of Wellston has fallen into disrepair. My maternal grandfather, Ralph Williams Jr., graduated from Wellston High School on 5/21/40. I imagine the Louvee was very popular at that time.

I remember going to the movies on Sat. afternoons & watching the western cliffhangers back in the 1940s
I still remember how scared I got watching The werewolf meets Frankenstein
@Marty Sutton Did you happen to know my grandfather, Ralph “Button” Williams Jr.?
It’s closed … wow. Sitting there rotting. Abandoned theaters make me feel only slightly less weird than abandoned churches.
