Garden Theatre, Movie theater in Central Northside, Pittsburgh, US.
The Garden Theatre features a Beaux-Arts terra cotta facade designed by architect Thomas N. Scott at 12 West North Avenue in Pittsburgh.
Built in 1915 and financed by steel industry figure David E. Park, the Garden Theatre operated as a first-run movie house until its transition to adult films in 1973.
The theater appeared in multiple film productions, including The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh in 1979 and the television adaptation of The Piano Lesson in 1995.
The Urban Redevelopment Authority acquired the property in 2007 for $1.1 million, leading to current renovations for 76 residential apartments opening in 2023.
Bennett Amdursky managed the theater from its opening until 1970, purchasing it from Park's son in 1924 and maintaining its original entertainment purpose.
