Opened in 1901 as a legitimate theatre, the Court Theatre, was located in the Board of Trade Building. The theatre was designed by architect Edward Bates Franzheim, a Wheeling native. By the late-1930’s, the Court Theatre was converted into a movie house. It operated at least into the early-1950’s. Any additional information on the Court would be appreciated.
