The "Avalon", the theater that we almost lost. Designed during the late 20's it was originally planned to have a large balcony hence and has a very high ceiling. The depression hit during construction and plans for the balcony were scrapped. A second smaller auditorium was later installed upstairs in the space whre the balcony was to be installed.
The Avalon was operated for years by a local chain "Circle Theaters" Circle and it's competitor "KB Theaters" ran most of the theaters in DC and during the 70's pretty much let their theaters become rather run down and shabby. During the mid 80's "Cineplex Odeon" spotting the potential of exploiting a long neglected market came in and took over most of the former "KB" and "Circle" properties. One of first things that "Cineplex Odeon" did was a complete restoration of the "Avalon".
The theater, which specialized in showcasing foreign, independent and Hollywood films aimed at an adult audience, operated successfully for years until the owners announced plans to close it and most of the other non-multiscreen theaters in the city.
During the 90's "Cineplex" and a number of other chains had constructed huge multplexes in all of the surrounding suburban communities and were breaking ground on similar venues in downtown DC. Older theaters like the "Avalon" did not fit into their business plan.
After a major legal battle with the theater chain, local developers and the courts a community based group was able to buy the theater, refurbish it and now it operates as one of the few independent cinemas in this area.
I believe this is an old trolley turnaround, now used as a Metrobus stop, on Connecticut Avenue NW in Chevy Chase, near the Maryland border. It looks like it was built in the 1930s.
