Opened prior to 1926, the Alpine Theater was a small theater in Punxsutawney. It was taken over by Warner Bros. Circuit Management Corp. in 1941. It was closed in 1969. It was then used as office space. It was later a Western Auto store for many years. The building still stands.

From Boxoffice magazine, May 1941:
PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA.-Alpine Theater has been acquired by Warner Brothers Circuit Management Corp. Transfer is from Harry Batastini. The Alpine was an independent theater, not affiliated with a circuit operated under that name. Warner has the Jefferson here which is managed by Mrs. Marietta McCartney.
Shortly before it became a longtime Western Auto store, it was an office for a time. Harry Batastini and William Good both leased the building after closing the Alpine in 1969.
