This theater was once part of the old Manos theater circuit of Greensburg. When it opened, it had only 1 screen. The 3 additionial screens were added years later.

This Loew’s theater is built in the same style as the Loew’s Waterfront 22 in West Homestead (Pittsburgh), PA.

After recently viewing photographs on the internet of Philadelphia’s Stanley Theater, I could not help but notice that it looks exactly like the Benedum Center (formerly the Stanley Theater) of Pittsburgh. When looking at the photos side by side, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between the two buildings. I read that they were both designed by Hoffman & Henon. Were these two theaters built exactly alike? Also, did the Stanley Company build others that resemble these two? If they were indeed built as “twins”, it’s such a tragic loss for Philadelphia to have lost this theater.
