Historic name: Rex Theater, Overcomers Outreach Community Church (built c. 1925)

About This Property

The Rex Theater was opened in 1926 and tan as an independent “movie house.” It was bought out by the Rialto Theater in an apparent attempt to minimize competition.  Pause a moment to take a look at the interesting façade with the columns on each side above the canopy and the large angular cornice.  In later years it has been Town and Country Fashions,  a retail store, and Showplace Graphics.
