723 Park Street
Park Theatre on October 21, 2006
This large building was known as the Park Theatre. It was built in 1949 by a farmer named Mr. Sagert, a feed store operator named Mr. Gilenwater, Mr. Shaminek of Shaminek Bakery, and Clay Nichols who owned and operated Lebanon Billiards. The building plans were developed by a theater builder named Thomas from Vancouver, Washington. It was built of reinforced concrete with a stucco finish, and small retail spaces flanked the theater entrance. The Park Street Theatre operated as a theater until 1975. The Lebanon Chapel met in the theatre from 1975 to 1980, when built a new church and school on South Main Street. The theatre later housed an antique store and hair salon that was there for over 20 years. Chiropractor Les Pullen purchased the office building next door in 1973 and purchased the theatre in the 1990s. The Pullens had XL Excavation of Eugene demolish both buildings in September 2008.
