The building at 3620 Layton looks much too old to have been built after 1980. It has a definite 1920s look to it. Maybe the Majestic hasn’t been demolished after all.
The architect field at top currently misspells Belongia.
One of the few mentions I’ve found of a Majestic Theatre in Milwaukee comes from Movie Age of January 19, 1929. It was being operated by L.K. Brin. As there is no address given I don’t know absolutely if it was this Majestic Theatre or the older one downtown that the item was about, but given that the article referred to this house as Brin’s Majestic Theatre, and the downtown Majestic was part of the B.F. Keith/RKO circuit, it seems likely that the item referred to the Majestic on Layton Avenue.
A February 2 Movie Age item that same year said that Brin had recently acquired the Majestic, so it was built for someone else.
