The above Photo of The Liberty is from around 2005. Given the poor quality of the shot I probably would not have uploaded it ,But since there are no other photos I thought would share it. Some notes on the back of the picture are as follows, Approximately 300 wood seats,a mini Family balcony, 2 projectors , back stage sound , a baby cry room upstairs, built in 1939, dark since 1980. The liberty had an indoor enclosed box office.It had been dark since 1980 and a recent google search appears to show an empty lot at 820 main street so I assume it has been demolished .

Not sure if this link works as it’s from Newspaper Archives.com. The article is from the Kittanning Simpson-Leader edition of April 24, 1975 (page 10)about the Liberty Theater. A wonderful article about John D. Nagy, who owned and operated it, and his lifelong love of movies and career in the theater industry.
