National General opened the Fox Colonie Theater in the mid-1960’s. It was located on Wolf Road, across from the new Colonie Center shopping mall (Albany’s first), which had the Center Theatre built behind it. The Fox Colonie Theater featured gold drapes on the walls an a large, 800 seat auditorium behind a large lobby.

The theater was twinned in the mid-1970’s, and closed around 1984. Later operators included Mann, RKO, and finally RKO Century Warner Theatres. It sat empty for many years, and was demolished around 1990 for a parking lot. A fast food restaurant has been built on the site recently.
