i’m going for a thorough building tour on march 30th. last weekend i spoke with some people on the board and expressed interest in volunteering some time and expertise…

i might get a chance to actually do some design work at this building

i’m certain they are different theatres- penn cinema is still up and operational…

i just don’t think that the current PNC bank sits on the same site as the butler theatre…by looking at the site my best guess is that the butler theatre which is listed with a east jefferson address would have been located behind the PNC bank. today there is a drive thru teller area there- but i doubt the butler theatre was torn down to fulfill that specific purpose

the PNC bank proper does not sit on the site of this theatre… the PNC bank is housed in a building that has been there since the 1930’s

although there is a drivethru teller area behind that bank that very well could sit on the site of the old theatre- although i highly doubt it was torn down to fulfill that particular function

just saw “moon of the wolf” last night at the penn cinema- in the small screening room or ‘piggy back’ theatre

i’m not so sure someone’s information on the PNC bank is correct- that building has been there since at least the 1930’s- hardly an era of ‘urban renewal’
