The Playhouse opened as the Baker in September, 1910. The 1,200 seat venue was a new home for the Baker Players. The theater included film as part of their entertainment offerings. Over the years it would be renamed the Dufwin, Alcazar, Music Box (one of six in Portland to carry that name) and El Capitan. It was named the Playhouse in 1932. It was used for church services in 1950, closed in 1953 and was demolished in 1954.
