Photograph of the west side of the 3800 block of Main Street, circa 1982. The Madrid Theater, at 3806-3810 Main, was designed by Besecke and Defoe and opened in 1926 as movie palace, complete with Wurlitzer organ. The theater closed by the early 1950s, and served as a furniture and rug retailer for a number of years. The building was vacant at the time of this photo, and has a sign promoting Jim Kenworthy, "Democrat for Congress," hanging on the front. The Madrid was renovated and reopened in 2001 as a venue for live music and other events. Superior Sound, at 3814 Main, provided audio equipment for performance venues and other businesses.
