From the Silver Screen to Sawdust

Time is taking its toll on the Golden Era...

With each passing year, one or more of these treasured cinema icons disappear. Some are destroyed by fire. Some are razed to make room for progress. One was even prematurely demolished due to a clerical error. Every time one of these palaces is destroyed, a piece of our youth is taken with the destruction.

Here are a few that are now gone but never forgotten...
