The first photo below shows the Homewood Theatre after its renovation in 1941. Below that is an article from the Birmingham News in January of that year describing the changes coming to the venue. The second photo shows the theater around 1928, and the final one of the building was taken in March 2019.
The 1945 Birmingham Yellow Pages theater listings gives the address as 2834 South 18th Street. The architect for the redesign was Wilmot Douglas; you can see a list of some of his other buildings in the Birmingham area here. He also designed the College Theatre which opened in East Lake in 1949.
The Cinema Treasures site says the theater closed around 1963. If you have other information or memories about the Homewood Theatre, feel free to leave them in the comments section.
