pr;1992;666;ph.

The Old Main Street Museum of Art, 42 South Main Street, White River Junction, June, 1992, with Slugo Maneshevitz Gagarin, Lyle Levig and David Fairbanks Ford, gelatin silver print by Slugo M. Gagarin. ca. 1992, c.e.

This building, which formerly housed the second motion picture house in White River Jct., is presently devolved into a slum condition by the deliberate neglect of former landlord/owner, the Lena’s Lunch building, the old Crown Theater, once served as the towns bowling alleys, and “Papa Guiseppis,” an Italian sub-shop which featured a nighttime transvestite floorshow.

The building itself was torn down in 2005.
