Theatre closed in 1965. X was assassinated that same year (early). Something doesn’t add up. I need dates!😁😍
Listings ended in 1965 for the Broadway theatre in the Buffalo News.
The interior of the theater looks like it’s in pretty much the same condition it was when I visited it in 2011. Glad to see someone is doing something with it, even if it’s just sealing it up.
Here’s the link to the event:
Broadway Theatre Board and Clean Up
There’s a “Board & Paint” event Sunday, 8/20/17 to re-secure the theatre. The Buffalo Young Preservationists posted the info on Facebook, along with a new set of photos (the interior is pretty far gone now, a combination of vandals and the elements). Don’t know how to link the post here.
Here’s a blog post with some images of the Sattler. Sattler Theatre

I just heard recently that 2 men want to restore the theater. I don’t know what type of use they have in mind though.
Any update on any restoration on this theater?

LOUB: Send me an email () and I will give you the name of the Buffalo friend as you just might know him if you are in the Buffalo area.
LOUB: I just received notice of this article through a local Buffalo friend’s email. I, too, made note that the new owners envision showing movies again. I wish them well as this theatre deserves to be saved.

blfofan: Interesting to read so many of the old theatre phone numbers on so many of the Buffalo related CT links. I wish we still had the letter prefixes as they were cool.

sam_e: I recently drove by this former theatre and it would take a miracle to restore this one! Yet much of the terra cotta facade is still intact and tells us that this theatre, in its heyday, was a beauty.
Umm, read between the lines in the BIFF blurb. It is only some wishful thinking to create interest in restoring this theatre. No concrete plan appears to be currently in place to undertake such a project.
Interesting to see that an effort is being made to save and restore this very neglected theatre which at one time was a beautiful theatre built by the famous Sattler name (i.e. Sattler Department Stores).

Was also known as the Broadway and when it replaced the wooden-framed Casino Theatre, it wasn’t the Casino on Genesee Street.
kjosker: Thanks for these important photos. And I would now like to know what the overhead logo reads on that stage.
I have posted pictures of the Sattler at http://www.pbase.com/kjosker/sattler

IMO, they were the same organization but I have read that a Mosque…Nation of Islam occupied it at one point in time.
