The Crescent Theatre opened in the Cahill Building in 1909, presenting both vaudeville and movies. The entire block in which the theater building was once located was demolished in the 1980’s for the construction of the Galleries office and retail complex.

The Crescent was the first large theater built by the Cahill brothers on South Salina Street, and the first theater in Syracuse built specifically for movie exhibition.
