The Pythian Theatre was built in 1928 by an African American lodge of the Knights of Pythias. The building held offices, a restaurant, and a billiard parlor as well as the lodge hall and movie theater.
The Pythian Theatre was renamed Fedo Theatre in the late-1940’s. It served Wheeling’s African American community into the mid-1950’s.

Architect was Charles W. Bates who designed a number of theatres in the area: Fenray in Martins Ferry, Capitol in Wheeling, Elk Grand in Bellaire, Metropolitan in Morganstown among others.
At present it looks completely abandoned and vacant.
