Loew’s State Palace Theatre opened on Canal Street in New Orleans in 1926. Over the decades it saw a number of changes, such as being divided into three separate screening rooms, being temporarily closed due to damage by Hurricane Katrina, and becoming a concern hall in its later years before closing permanently in 2007 due to fire code violations.  Demolition plans were made and scrapped, and the theater still sits vacant as of 2022. (The photos in this post are from 2015, unless otherwise noted.)
