Support the independent voice of Houston and help keep the future of Houston Press free.
Want to buy a nice used theater?
No, not the River Oaks. That's probably still headed for the wrecking ball.
The theater for sale is the Heights Theatre on 19th Street.
The theater, built in 1929, was the site of an antiques store until recently.
Asking price is $1.3 million, which seems a bit steep, but then again it does offer over 7,000 square feet.
Interesting to see if it gets any takers. Maybe Weingarten Realty can buy it and tear it down in a triple-play with the River Oaks and the Alabama.

Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
