The Sylvan closed on July 22, 1965 with the double bill of “Dr. No” and “From Russia, With Love”.
It is difficult to tell what if anything remains of the Sylvan’s auditorium. Most of the area which has been converted to retain seems only to cover what would have been the theatre lobby.
A 1948 Times Herald lists the Sylvan as a “Bernheimer"s Theatre at 104 RI Ave N.W Telephone NO-9689,, Ad reads, "Scientifically Air-Conditioned” Double Feature, “Return of the Whistler” Michael Duane, Lenore Aubert and “The Dead Don’t Dream” William Boyd Matinee at 1 P.M
1960&61 Yellow Pages list the Sylvan but not as a Louis Bernheim Theatre.. At 104 RI Ave N.W. telephone NO-7-9689
