The Capitol Theatre was located across the street from the Strand Theatre. It was in operation prior to 1941 and in the 1940’s was operated by Paramount Pictures Inc. through their subsidiary H.F. Kincey. It was still open in 1950. The building is now occupied by a Family Dollar Store.

Function should be retail.
From Boxoffice magazine May 9, 1977
Vernon H. Steed, president of the Southeastern Amusement Corp., Warrenton, N.C. announced that his company has acquired the Capitol Theatre in Danville, Va. from R/C Theatres of Baltimore.
LM, that was my mistake for not hitting retail when I submitted the theatre.

The photo is not accurate. This Google photo is from South Main Street in Danville. The Capital was adjacent to the Hotel Danville in the 600 block of downtown Danville. The Hotel still stands as Danville House, an apartment building for disabled folks.
The photo is of the Danville House, Google it seperately and it comes up the same street view.
