The Girard Avenue Theatre was opened in 1891. By 1941, it was known as the Girard Theatre, and was closed in 1964.
Although the facade of the building has been ‘modernised’, the original brickwork of the auditorium block and stage house can be seen around the corner on N. Marshall Street. It now houses a Fine Fare supermarket.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28. (1903) — The Girard Avenue Theater was gutted by fire early today, entailing a loss of $50,000, of which $25,000 was on the building and the remainder on the contents. The fire started at about 3:30 a. m. on the stage, and is supposed to have been caused by an electric light wire. A traveling company was producing the “Minister’s Daughter.” All of the company’s scenery and costumes were destroyed. Miller and Kauffman were the lessees.
