Patterson Drive-In

 

The Patterson Drive-In, located a few miles before crossing into Goochland, VA, opened in 1966, and closed in 1981. Opening night movies were Disney's "That Darn Cat," and Elvis in "Harum Scarum."

A view of the main building from the street.

This is a shot from underneath the screen, which is gone now. The main building in the distance, where they had the concession stand and showed the movies, reminds me of that building in the "Land Of The Lost," tv series, I think in the city of the Sleezestacks or whatever.

A closer look at what's left of the drive-in.

Another view.  Really not much to see inside though.  

 

At this point in time, it was a landscaping business. 

 

Here are some rare photos of the original screen.

Here's a view of the screen with some trees in front.
