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 998. 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.

The space to the east was an open-air theater for summer use. Not sure when that part closed. The self storage place was torn down years ago, and there is a giant apartment building here today.
