Viewing: Photo | Street View

The Jefferson was built in 1913 and designed by architect John D. Allen. The theater sat 935 and stood on 29th Street near Susquehanna Avenue. The theater was remodeled in the early 20s, and again in 1926 by architect William H. Lee. The Jefferson closed around 1930 and today is home to a church.
