I am not sure when this theater was built, but it showed its last movie around 1960. It is now a social club called the Eagles.

This theater’s name before it was converted to a social club was Harris Theater. It was presumably of the Harris chain.
DavidStear: Do you know of a former Harris Theatre that was in Butler PA?
In 1955 the Harris Theater had 328 seats.

The Harris Theatre of Jeannette was in operation prior to 1939, at the time the Harris Amusement Company took a lease on Michael Manos’s new Manos Theatre in the same town. The new house operated as the Harris-Manos Theatre until 1949, at which time operation was taken over by the Manos circuit. The Harris circuit continued to operate the Harris Theatre as well during this decade.
In 1950, Manos bought the Harris Theatre, ending the Harris circuit’s presence in Jeannette. The March 25 issue of Boxoffice that year said that Michael Manos had closed the Harris Theatre. I’ve not found any later mentions of the Harris in Boxoffice.
