The Byrd spanned 4716-4720 Baltimore Ave and was demolished in 1970. I don’t think it was 1,800 seats, more like a third to half that size. There’s been a parking lot in its place since its destruction, flanked by two murals. One of them features an image of the Byrd in tribute.

The exact address is 4720 Baltimore Avenue (Rt. #13) – Philadelphia PA 19143. Cinema Treasures still has this theater as closed although it’s demolished. Today the site serves as a surface parking lot.

A modern retro-classic building extends around this part of the block. The theatre was razed long ago.
