On January 6, 1964 the Fox theater was destroyed in a fire. “The fire started in an area near the theater’s projection room. The nearly block-long building housed the spacious theater behind a row of stores including Milavasky’s Home Furnishings, Brumberger’s Confectionery, the Rendfrey & Siegfried Photo Studio, Jerry Merlino’s Barber Shop, Bogg’s Soda Store and Capparelli’s Shoe Repairs”.
