The Capitol Theatre appears to have been opened in 1934. It was twinned sometime in the late-1970’s or early-1980’s.

This is a recent photo of the Capitol Theater taken by Seth Gaines.
Please have Seth Gaines remove his comment about this theatre’s marquee. He obviously did not read your comment guidelines. I find it offensive and disrespectful to not only the theatre owners (whom I know and are wonderful people) but also to your website and its purpose. Thank you.

Thanks for the Pictures.
Erwin and Unicoi County, by Linda Davis March, says that the Capitol Theatre was opened on November 11, 1935. The house has been run by members of the Hendren family since opening. The Hendrens also operated an earlier theater called the Lyric, which was on South Main Street. When the Capitol opened, the Lyric became the “B” house in Erwin.
