The Capitol Theatre was opened in 1920, as a free standing, two-story brick structure. Through most of it’s history the owner was George Hanny, who also had an interest in the Maxine Theater. A new
organ was installed in 1927, and air conditioning installed in 1940. (It is said an underground stream cooled the theater before that).
The theater closed in 1957, was vacant for a period, then became Fazio’s Capitol Hall, and after that a Legion
Post around the 1980s.
