The Capitol Theater opened November 25, 1925, as a neighborhood movie house with 1,600 seats and a stage with dressing rooms for vaudeville. The vertical sign on the front of the building is now gone, but the main marquee remains from its heyday. In 1986 the grand lobby was restored. The lobby’s granite columns and gold leaf – hidden since the 1960’s behind faux wood paneling – are once again on view. The lobby is a popular place for children’s birthday places. Interesting murals decorate the mezzanine lobby. The Capitol was placed on the National Register in 1985.
