State Theater, 540 Franklin Avenue, Aliquippa, Beaver County, PA
Summary
Written data includes a site plan.
Significance: The State Theater is one of the last remaining moving picture theaters in Beaver County. Constructed in 1921 for $225,000, it represents a fine example of thematic architecture popular during the "golden years" for moving picture theaters. Because the front elevation, with its elegant use of terra cotta as a decorative feature, has remained unchanged and possesses a high degree of architectural integrity, the building is significant to its local and regional environments.
