This theater only has 5 screens not 6,at one time it was 1 screen.I remember in the 1980's it had 3 screens,one notoriously under a bowling alley.I just saw "Borat' there and you can here the bowling balls klunking on the ceiling.In my opinion this theater also has one of the strangest layouts.

A Moller theater organ opus 3256 was installed in a Squirrel Hill Theater in Pittsburgh in 1922.

Like the nearby Manor, they play a lot of "indie" films that you can't see elsewhere in the Pittsburgh area.

By the way, when was this place built and when was it converted to 5 screens?

This was once a revival theater. My stepmother and my Dad and I saw a double bill of BARBARELLA and FLESH GORDON. That was a wonderful night. I loved it.
