Logansport State theatre (#0209)

There was a portion of downtown Logansport that looked to be at least somewhat commercially active around the historic State theatre. Per Cinematreasures and the preservation society’s links (below), the State opened in 1940 and continued to operate as a movie theater until 2012; the theater is now operated by the non-profit State Theatre Preservation Society as a live performance venue. From the preservation society’s webpage, one gets the impression of a dedicated set of individuals trying to maintain the theater and revive downtown Logansport, but having relatively limited resources. For example, one of the tasks they describe as needed is to remove all of the tile, fix the brick work behind it, and then clean and rehang the tile.
