The Yorktown Theatre was a neighborhood theatre that was on Cleveland’s West Side, by the Cleveland/Parma border. It opened in 1947, and was twinned in 1974.
The theatre closed in 1996-1997, and is currently a church, the International House Of Prayer.

This theatre should have an aka Loew’s Yorktown Theatre.
Opened in 1947 by the Vermes Brothers, the Yorktown Theatre was one of numerous theaters designed by Cleveland architect George Ebeling.

Interesting photos of the LOEWS YORKTOWN.
I was in this theater once before it was twinned and it seemed much larger than 600 seats. More in the thousand range. It seemed quite large to me. I imagine the twinning created 2 long tunnel type theaters similar to Loew’s East and West. I remember it being a nice theater.
Should be listed as AKA as LoewsYorktown.
This opened on August 20th, 1947.

Yorktown Theater closed in 1996/1997, not 1994. In 1994, it stopped showing new movies and became sort of a Parma/Detroit Theater clone…but it was still a movie theater. I know this because in 1996, they showed at Yorktown Disney’s Oliver and Company when Disney re-released it.
