Princess Theatre, Tucumcari, NM
118 E Main St.
A guy fixing a broken window in the ticket booth (so it could be repainted for downtown Christmas murals) told me the place has been closed since the sixties, except for a brief reopening, after at least a couple of fires. That jibes with the info that I later found online, that it opened in 1917, was renamed in 1921, remodeled to its current exterior in 1938, and burned in 1943 and again in 1962.
