A demolition permit was obtained by the owner of the vacant Mayfield Theatre in Cleveland, a report by cleveland.com says. The last movie was shown at the theater in 1996.
Demolition for the entire complex has begun, starting with the asphalt parking lot, the report says. Plans for the complex are to clear the 2 acre site and put it on the market in February or March.
After the theater stopped showing movies, a list of tenants have been in the complex since, including a video rental shop and liquor store. According to the report, the building was built in 1917 and the theater opened in 1936.
According to the report, city preservation officials toured the theater and decided there was no historical significance to the building. One official told cleveland.com the building lacked the same architectural quality as other buildings that qualified for historic preservation.
Several ideas, including a Circle K, have been proposed for the lot but none have worked out so far. The report says $180,000 of asbestos removal is needed for the space and property taxes cost more than $63,000 per year. American Disabilities Act access is also missing from the theater.
Currently, there are no plans for the space.
