The Capitol shown in the photo isn’t the theater’s original location, which was on Main St. between the Logan and Guyan. I believe it was around the late 60’s that the new location on Stratton St. was obtained.
Isn’t this the theater that was on West 14th Street off Adams Avenue? The above map doesn’t indicate that. I’ve lived in the Huntington area now for about 40 years and was going nuts trying to recall the name of that little theater!
I was born in 1947 in Logan and left for college in 1965. The Midelburg closed some time in the late 50’s, if I recall correctly. I know that by the time I was in high school, the building was occupied by the Super S discount department store that was owned by the Sayer family. I believe the Midelburg usually showed B-movie double features, probably film noir, which I wasn’t interested in as a teen. Now, if I could only go back in time, I would be there at every available opportunity!
