State of mind: Developer set to unveil vision for historic theater

It’s been a bank, a movie theater, a music venue — for both local and national touring acts — and, now, the Floridian Social Club. 

Formerly known as the State Theatre, the nearly 100-year-old building in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg’s trendy 600 block of Central Avenue is undergoing a transformation that’s about 90% complete, owner Kevin Chadwick says. A St. Pete native, Chadwick's family trust purchased the 8,600-square-foot property for $1.26 million from Anthony and Frank Dagostino in June 2018.
