The Capitol Theatre and building took some 14 months to build starting with groundbreaking in late 1926, and construction lasing through all of 1927, leading to an opening in January 1928. The architect for The Capitol Theatre was John Eberson who designed The Capitol Theatre in his signature “atmospheric” style. The theatre heavily modified and streamlined it in 1957 just a scant 30 years after it was constructed. The Butterfield Theatre chain owned and managed the theatre until the theatre sold to George Kerasotes in the 1970s.
