Great picture! The arch in the photo does indeed closely match (though is not the same as) the facade at what is currently 103 Court Street. Other building features seem to line up as well. It looks like a match. Chances are today’s arch and garage door facade are a remnant from the remodeling after the theater closed.

Interesting. I’ll check it out. In one other case Jack Shay got the order of theater names backwards, so that also may be the case here.

The New Empire was apparently an “old” Empire itself. Bygone Binghamton, by Jack Edward Shay, mentions a later Empire Theatre located at 120 Washington Street, but doesn’t give its years of operation.
