Trouble Feature: 10 Abandoned Drive-In Movie Theaters

25 Aug

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ]

Drive-in movie theaters stand for the great American auto-centric suburban dream, though as time goes by fewer and fewer of the outdoor screens remain standing.

Driven Out

On June 6th, 1933, as many as 400 New Jersey motorists looking to escape the harsh realities of the Great Depression for a while enjoyed Wives Beware, starring Adolphe Menjou, from the comfort of their automobiles. Though the 40 by 50 ft screen at Park-In Theaters in Camden is long gone (it operated for only three years), other relics of the Drive-In Theater Age still stand, if just barely.

The Drive-In Project

According to travel photographer Craig Deman, “approximately 90 percent of drive-ins are closed from their peak in the late 1950s.” Deman is somewhat of an expert on the topic, having authored the hauntingly illustrated The Drive-In Project which documents the current state of abandoned drive-in movie theaters from coast to coast.

After The Last Picture Show

They say “Life Is Sweet In Texas” but since the Midway Drive-In Theatre in Sweetwater, Texas closed things just haven’t been the same. The 230-car capacity drive-in was opened in the 1950s and like many drive-ins of the era, provided a large playground for kids and an outdoor seating area for families in front of the screen.

The jagged faux mountain range painted in bold Indian red & forest green on the back of the Midway Drive-In Theatre‘s screen make it an easily identified landmark, even from far across the windswept plains of north-central Texas. Flickr user Nicholas Henderson captured the screen-back backdrop’s eerie essence above, looking little the worse for wear, on a bright summer’s day in 2011.

Lake Woe Begone

There’s not much left of Mt. Orab, Ohio’s Lake Drive-In besides its inimitable Fabulous Fifties main sign and the moldering wooden ticket shack. Indeed, the theater’s Happy Days indeed have long since faded though Richie, Potsie, Ralph and the Fonz still likely have fond memories of many a moonlit night… hey Arthur, don’t you think it’s about time you let those guys out of the trunk?

Trouble Brewing: 12 De-alcoholized Abandoned Breweries

27 Jan

[ By Steve in Abandoned Places & Architecture. ]

abandoned breweries
The spice must flow but the beer? Not always, and last call for breweries large or small is only a question of timing. These dozen decrepit, decommissioned and de-alcoholized breweries are the drunk dry victims of changing times, changing tastes and changing fortunes.

Lincoln Oakbank Brewery – Narrandera, Australia

Motorists out for a Sunday drive on the the Newell highway near historic Narrandera, New South Wales should keep their eyes peeled for the abandoned Lincoln Oakbank Brewery. Overtaken by “climbing plants, birds and clusters of spiders,” the formerly stately brick brewery now lies at the brink of collapse. As for the mysterious occurrence of a single ladies shoe at the site, we’re taking the fifth and blaming the spiders.

The brewery’s well-built and sturdy looking five story tower was designed by Australian architect John Hill Robertson (1870-1955) just after the turn of the century. We can thank Tara Moss for capturing these eerie and haunting images of a brewery down under that went under.

Murree Brewery – Murree, Pakistan

A brewery in Pakistan? It’s more likely than you think. The Murree Brewery Company Ltd. was established in 1860 to provide British administrative and military personnel stationed at Ghora Gali with English-style ale. The company still exists today (though exports are forbidden) but the original Gothic brewery complex at Ghora Gali was burnt down during the Partition riots in 1947/48. Thanks to photographer Umair Altaf who snapped the coolly refreshing image of the original brewery above.

Old Gebhard Brewery – Morris, Illinois, USA

Founded in 1866 by German immigrant Louis Gebhard, the Gebhard Brewery in Morris, Illinois, once used a third of the corn grown in Grundy County. Golden revenues were pouring in as fast as Gebhard’s golden brew was pouring out in 1896, when the last bricks in the main building were mortared into place. Then came the passage of the 18th amendment in 1919 and a year later, Gebhard Brewing was no more.

Sometime in the early 1920s, most of the brewing machinery was sold and shipped to Shanghai, China while the 7-story main brewery building housed a number of marginally successful businesses over the next half-century. The building has now been unoccupied for about 25 years though plans are afoot to repurpose the structure to some other use.

Half Pipe, Double Trouble: 2 Skateboard-able Dream Homes

18 Oct

[ By Steph in Architecture & Houses & Residential. ]

Skateboarders often have a tendency to eye virtually every surface as they go about their day, sizing it up for its curves and rails, imagining what it would be like to skate it. What if more structures were skateable, or even designed with skateboarders in mind? These two houses, Skate Villa by Philipp Schuster and PAS House by Francois Perrin and Gil Lebon Delapointe, are ultimate fantasy homes with curved walls, seats and even fireplaces.

PAS House

Designed as a ribbon providing a continuous surface to skate on from one end of the home to the other, PAS House was a collaboration between skateboarder and designer Gil Lebon Delapointe and architect Francois Perrin. The house is planned for a cliffside site in Malibu overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and a full-scale prototype was shown at Project Darwin in Bordeaux, France.



Created for Pierre Andre Senizergues, a former world champion and pro skater, PAS House includes a living room, dining area and kitchen as well as a bedroom, bathroom and skateboard practice area. The central part of the house forms a loop, with an interior measuring 10 feet in diameter.

Skate Villa

A derelict hunting cabin in Salzburg, Austria is now a bright, beautiful and almost totally skateable house with all the comforts and eccentricities of the original structure. At Skate Villa, concrete mounds added to the base of the walls add curves where there were none, and ramps were even created on interior structures like the fireplace.

Pro skater Philipp Schuster designed, gutted and renovated the house as his own personal indoor skate park after purchasing it from an elderly couple. The original character of the cabin was maintained with dark wood elements, hunting trophies and traditional lodge-style furniture.
