The Jefferson Theatre was located at 2645 Main Street and it seated 1030 people.
The Jefferson opened on Oct. 6, 1921 and closed in 1962.
In the early ‘70’s, it reopened briefly as the Jefferson Fine Arts before closing forever. The theater was gutted and it became an electrical supply buisness. Later, the building stood empty and boarded up with only it’s name carved in stone above where the marquee once hung.
There are photo’s of the Jefferson Theatre from 2002 here:

Someone Who Was There tells me that he was in Springfield last week and found the Jefferson still standing.
The Jefferson is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook as having 1036 seats and open daily.
