................. ............................................................................................................................................Thomas Paul  / Kilduffs Photos - 1985 . The old Fulton Theatre still had the supports for the Vertical marquee in 1985 . The old theatre had long been used as a church.

................................................... .. ..................................Besides the entrance being changed, the old Fulton Theatre had changed little over the past 100 years !

......The above image were taken before a fire gutted the old theatre in July 2007. The burned out building still  stands, but I'm not sure for now long ( see below )............................

In July 2007, the old theatre burned down. Not much information is available at this time regarding the cause, but as you can see in the pictures to the right, the building is now just a shell, and will likely be razed shortly. The Fulton Theatre opened around 1915 and stopped showing movies in the early 1950's. As of 2014, the shell is still standing

................................................................ ....................................... ........ ..   Several old ads from the years gone by for the Fulton Theatre are seen above. "Ramona" was shown in 1928, when  the theatre was known as the Fulton. The other ads date to the 1920's, when the theatre was first opened and was known as the Gertrude McCoy and later simply as the McCoy. The other Fulton ad for ' Heartbeat " dates to 1946, a bit before the movie house finally closed down. ........
