Resurrection Life Fellowship in the Heights before it was demolished this December
The Heights’ Stude Theater was demolished and will be replaced by a seven-story Big Tex Storage Facility, according to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Having opened in 1939, the building was an independent movie theater until 1957, when it became the church for the Resurrection Life Fellowship. The building retained its authentic marquee and vintage theater structure, but the church’s crown with the words “Our God Reigns” remained above the marquee until the building’s demolition.
