yes. i mentioned it because our office building at 241 Main Street in Danbury has the same facade on the top floor (2nd floor). The bottom is storefronts.

I would say the style is 60/40 art moderne/art deco. The curved windows and terrazzo-type stucco tell me this was probably built in the late 1930s. I lived in Hamden in 1983, and drove by this theater many times, but to my knowledge it had been closed for many years prior to that. For anyone who might be interested in this particular style of architecture, there is a strikingly similar building (Ezzo Building) in nearby Meriden, CT, directly across the street from where the Capitol Theater once stood on Grove Street.
