The Rivoli Theatre opened on August 15, 1925 with a Reproduco Expression Pipe Organ. The theatre relaunched on January 22, 1941 as the Uptown with the film, “Rhythm on the River.”

This building now houses Lehr Construction Company. Slope floor is still intact, as is some of the interior architecture and the basic elements of the front facade. Kudos to them for keeping the shell intact and in good shape, you never know what could happen in the future…
