Currently vacant, this theatre was built in 1912 as the Savoy Theatre. It was renamed the Liberty Theatre in 1920. It closed in the late 1920s after the larger Madison Cinema opened. It was used for a short time as a miniature golf course before becoming a warehouse, and then a NAPA auto parts store.
The structure still stands but plans are underway to demolish everything but the facade and build a four story residential/commercial building in its place. A 1924 photo can be found on page 3 of the 4/26/07 Star Ledger.
Any additional information on this theatre would be greatly appreciated.

Ah! I was in Madison cycling yesterday and was checking out the downtown. I went right by this building and made a note to come on here and see if it indeed was a theatre. It sure looked like one and is still standing as a NAPA store, however it’s just the lobby of the building with no auditorium. Must have sat only 200 or so.
