The Family Theatre is located on Hinds Street, and was directly across the street from the now demolished Oriental Theatre.

The Family Theatre was operating prior to 1950. It had closed by 1982. The building still stands in 2010, but is unused.

Chuck1231; 120 could be the correct address, Ken says the building still stands, but Google Map shows no building at 120, so I moved it up between the 2 buildings that could be the theater. My guess and hope is it’s the building on the right?

I believe the building is still standing.
Both The Oriental and Family were last operated by Associated Theatre, Pittsburgh, in the 70’s.

Bob, the address you gave would put it on the same side of the street as the Oriental, it was across the street from the Orientsal. The address that I listed was from an old newspaper ad that I found on Photobucket photos. The add listed the address at 120 Hinds St. As for google mapping it is not always reliable. When I did a bing search the theatre building does come up at 120 also.
