Description

The loss of historic movie theaters impacts a community's architectural identity and collective memory. The sequential loss of historic movie theaters in Asheville, NC, is used as a case study and examples of successful adaptive reuse of remaining historic theaters in Asheville and beyond make a case for their revitalization. The revival of drive-in theaters during COVID-19 is also discussed.
