The Elvin Theatre was opened around 1922, and continued until at least 1950.

It was later used for storage, and was then demolished.

A comment on the Cinema Endicott page says that the Elvin Theatre was owned by the Ammerman family. I think perhaps this item in the April 8, 1922, issue of The American Contractor was about the Elvin, and a copy editor just garbled the owner’s name:

“Theatre (M. P.): 1 sty. 52x140. Main St., Endicott, N. Y. Archt. Schenk & Normille, Phelps bldg., Binghamton. Owner S. H. Aminerson, village pres., L. H. Deitrich, care Lyric Theatre, Endicott. Hollow tile & t. c. Drawing plans.”
It wouldn’t be surprising that they got the owner’s name wrong, as they surely misspelled the name of one of the architects, William Normile, and probably the other, who must have been Gerald Schenck, later of Lacey, Schenck & Cummings.

But Kate wrote on the State Theater page: My Grandparents, Howard and Florence Ammerman owned the Elvin. The Elvin was named for the founders' wives (my grandfather’s first wife).
