Leon H. Lempert and Son claim to be the architects of the Casino Theater in the 1901 Julius Cahn Theatrical Guide.

The building pictured is actually facing Court St on the SE corner with State St. In later years it was the Drazon building, now an empty lot(2018).

Since the Jones Theater was short-lived it would be nice to list this theater as historical name The Regent.

The Regus was on the corner of Chenango and Munsell Sts. This is currently an empty lot next to Cordiscos. It was not a part of any redevelopment nor is it near the Binghamton Plaza. The architect was H. Sumner Gardner of Binghamton.

Building still existed on 2008 Google Maps. Looks like it was converted to retail on the side that housed the auditorium.

This theater was built too early to have DeAngelis as architect. Could this have been a Lempert project. DeAngelis did many remodel/modernization of Lempert theaters and may have been a Lempert protege.

The Capitol is the 1913 Amusu remodeled in 1925. Also remodeled in the late 50’s and after the 1972 flood. The Capitol was the smallest and least grand of the downtown theaters.
