The Alex Theater opened on July 28, 1950 with 550 seats, all on a single level. It is a plain red-brick Colonial style building with a plain marquee and red neon ‘Alex’ sign on the facade. It has always been an independently operated movie theatre. It closed in the 1980’s and was reopened in 1988.
The Alex Theater still has its original ‘crying room’ in use at the rear of the orchestra seating area and it screens ‘family friendly’ movies.

Considering that at one time there were five indoor theatres in Alexandria and the Alex is the only one left operating, that is quite an accomplishment.
Someone locked in the wrong google stret view, if you go to the 400 block there is a clear street view of the theatre.
