The Flower Cinema opened in February 1950 as a single screen theater. After several conversions into different multi screen configurations it was converted into a church. In January of this year I believe the church closed and the space is now available.

A few houses further down First Avenue is this one, which looks like it is undergoing a little modernization.

Not sure if this closure is due to the economic conditions or just part of the normal course of business.
