The building has been extensively renovated as of late 2016/early 2017. The main auditorium is now home to a two-level SuperFoodTown. The upper floor has an exposed ceiling, and you can see the original beams of the theater roof, which is neat. Little else is recognizable. Some detailing around the old theater entrance survives, though partially obscured by signage.

Responding (many months late) to Joe Vogel’s comment: looking at a 1916 insurance map of the intersection shows The Heights Theatre at the SW corner of 181/Wadsworth and the Wadsworth Theatre at the SE corner of 181/Wadsworth. Both building appear to still be standing, albeit gutted for retail.
