Notes

Photograph of the 200 Block W. Crawford taken from the road. Photo was taken for the Historic Resources Survey of Palestine, Texas 1989-1991. A theater was in operation in this building at least as early as 1926-27, according to city directories. At that time it was known as the Best Theatre, but by 1933-34 the name had been changed to the Texas Theater. The city’s other historic theater, the Ritz, was demolished in the 1970s, making the Texas the last remaining historic downtown movie house. A fire in the 1950s forced severe alterations at the ground-level entrance. The theater is in the process of being renovated for use by the Palestine Community Theater Group.
