The Adelphi Theatre (not to be confused with the older legitimate house of the same name on Broad Street) opened in 1922. The theater was located on 52nd Street near Media Street and seated nearly 500. After the theater closed in 1965, it became home to a church.

This particular theater became a hall that catered events in the late 70's. Also, south of this theater is a West Philadelphia land mark The Capital theater.

At this point in time, the capital is still being used as a retail space.

I think the address should be 1453 N. 52nd Street.

Google maps would agree.

The number streets run north and south, while the name streets run east and west. This excepts Broad Street, which would actually be 14th Street. Also please note that if you ask someone to take you to East Philly, they will dump you in the Delaware River.

I'll be sure to bring my swimsuit just in case.
