The Capitol was built by the M. E. Comerford Amusement Co. The building that was on the thetre site burned; Comerford bought the lot, cleaned it up, and built the theatre. There is a video on Youtube that shows the theatre. It’s titled: Waverly, NY:The Golden Days

The Capitol Theatre is indeed still in use as a church and yes, the marquee was used for the church sign.

Definitely looks like a former theatre building to me. I’d say there isn’t much doubt.

This church is at 207 Broad Street. Looking at the photo on their site, I’m wondering if that’s the former Capitol marquee, since it appears curved as per the description at the top of the page.
