The Marlowe was opened in 1915 by John Oishei as a free-standing, two-story brick structure. In 1929, the theater was taken over by Matthew Konczakowski, and in later years, it was the headquarters
for his four-theater chain.

In 1941, a $70,000 remodeling was completed, which included more seating, air conditioning, and a new facade. Konczakowski died in 1959, and about a year later, the Marlowe closed. After being vacant for a period, it became a church.
