Opened in 1947 by the Vermes Brothers, the Yorktown Theatre was one of numerous theaters designed by Cleveland architect George Ebeling.
Here is a different look at the marquee:

Interesting photos of the LOEWS YORKTOWN.
I was in this theater once before it was twinned and it seemed much larger than 600 seats. More in the thousand range. It seemed quite large to me. I imagine the twinning created 2 long tunnel type theaters similar to Loew’s East and West. I remember it being a nice theater.
Should be listed as AKA as LoewsYorktown.
Yorktown Theater closed in 1996/1997, not 1994. In 1994, it stopped showing new movies and became sort of a Parma/Detroit Theater clone…but it was still a movie theater. I know this because in 1996, they showed at Yorktown Disney’s Oliver and Company when Disney re-released it.
Once operated by Sony Theatres, closed by Loews on May 27, 1997.
Opened on August 21, 1947 with Dennis Morgan in “Cheyenne” (unknown if extras added).
This theatre was mentioned in the most recent Red Letter Media episode of re:View about the fantastic cult film Street Trash. Josh Robert Thompson co-hosts and talks about seeing the movie in Cleveland, but he says the theatre is called the York. He does say it was converted to a church, so I think he was thinking of the Yorktown. Find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqJpoWE0jaY
It’s now a Little Caesar’s Pizza.
