Apollo Theatre, Washington, D.

Viewing: Photo | Street View

This early Washington movie house opened on September 10, 1913 on H Street near Sixth Street. It was designed by architect C. Clark Jones in a Renaissance Revival style and had a seating capacity for 894. In its early years, it was called Crandall’s Apollo Theatre.

It survived until 1955 and was long ago demolished. A self storage facility is on the site today.
