The Isis Theatre in Pensacola opened May 14, 1914 with Blanche Sweet in “Classmates” & “Newlyweds Dilemma”. It was built for C.H. Turner. The Isis Theatre was part of the Saenger Amusements circuit. In 1945, according to the Film Daily Yearbook, the theater was still operating and could seat 500. The Isis Theatre was closed due to the lease expiring on October 4, 1953 with Paul Colline in “Johnny the Giant Killer” & Howard Duff in “Spaceways”.
It went into use as a medical center, then retail use. By 2015 it was offices for the News Journal. They had vacated the building by 2024. By 2025 it had gone back to retail use by Half-Moon Outfitters.
