The Wishart Theater was located at the corner of Front Street and Allegheny Avenue on Allegheny Avenue. It was my neighborhood theater just right around the corner from where I lived.
I saw so many films there including “West Side Story” and “What A Way To Go” with Shirley Mclaine. It was a wonderful neighborhood theater to go to.
It was torn down and replaced with a drive-thru bank…
Oh, what a way to go!

Opened in 1915 and closed in 1967.
A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Wishart Theater in 1924.
I saw “White Christmas” and “The Music Man” at The Wishart. Many more.
Wasn’t there a police station just above Allegheny Ave on Front St?
