Columbia Theatre

I have rewritten the very poor initial listing, and added a Sanborn view. Although the photo in the clipping is very poor quality, it does not show the building at 219. In addition, the entry to the theater pictured is in the center, whereas the 1912 and 1921 maps both show it on the left. The Times-Mirror was definitely a Warren, PA paper, so it’s a bit confusing. It may be that the building currently at 219 is a fake of an older building (and it is 4 stories, not 3), but it appears to be higher quality than the very weak effort to the east.

This photo of the Columbia accompanied a 9/30/58 story in the Warren (PA) Times-Mirror about the sale of the theater to the Knights of Columbus:
