Description
The historic Kessler Theater opened in 1942 and was once owned by Gene Autry. He became the owner in 1946 and operated it as a movie theater till the early 1950s. Much of the theater was destroyed in the 1957 tornado that swept through Dallas. The storm took off the top of the theater, as well as its back facade. Five years later, it was rebuilt as a church but once again faced destruction by a three-alarm fire that gutted the entirety of the inside.
