It’s likely that the house mentioned in this item from the June 14, 1939 issue of Variety was the Castle:

“Leon Reichblum, indie exhibitor, has acquired the Castle Shannon here under lease from Dr. W. C. Frost, giving him three houses in this territory. Other two are the Menlo in Charleroi, Pa., and State in Wilkinsburg. Dean McClosky, manager of Castle Shannon under Dr. Frost, will remain there with Reichblum.”
