..
The Ambassador has in recent years,  been used as a church, a beauty school, and again as a church. The theater was built in the mid 1930's, and it's opening helped shut down the Gwynn across the street. The Ambassador is a real gem  of a building, and the exterior has survived the years quite well although the interior has been completely gutted. In July 2009 , the building was up for auction, but as of 2014, no one has bought the building.The building still stands as of 2014, but suffered a recent fire, which might affect the future of the building.
