Opened in 1910 as a vaudeville house, the Jefferson was located in the Hyde Park neighborhood, on 55th Street, near Lake Park Avenue. It could seat over 650. It later switched to movies, and operated into the 40s. It has long since been demolished.

A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Jefferson Theater in 1912.
