Barrow-Civic Theatre and Little Theatre - 1223-1225 Liberty Street

In 1913-14 an open-air structure named the Park Theatre was located on this site. A roof was added later but in 1944 fire destroyed the building. The Kayton Entertainment Co. owned the site and by 1946 had rebuilt the movie theatre. By 1973 the theatre was sold and became the Re-Arm Sports Center. The Franklin Civic Operetta purchased this Moderne style building in 1989. Hard work and community support contributed to Franklin having one of the finest art and entertainment centers in the area. The Little Theatre was once a favorite drug store and soda fountain operated by the McGuire Brothers.
