1988 – The State Theatre, located on the north side of College Avenue between Monroe and Adams in Tallahassee, was demolished on this date. The theatre opened in 1934 and closed in 1971. The building was designed in Art Deco style, including a stylish marquee that reached across the entire front of the building, five sculpted panels on the facade, and a two-story tall vertical sign. It was actually the Second state theater on this site (the first burned down) and was built for the Sparks Theatres chains.
