Closing date is incorrect. It was definitely in business from 1953 to 1958 and perhaps longer. It had a period of operation as an African American movie house.
According to Irvin R. Glazer’s “Philadelphia Theatres” book, this theatre opened in 1912, and closed in 1953
More maps? BORING!! As for the PAB site, we already know it’s the Dixie Theater or we wouldn’t be here. Who was the architect —– in what style was it designed —– who was the operator —– when did it close? Things like that genius.
Here is the church/theater as seen on Google maps:
