Exeter Street Theatre, Movie theater in Back Bay, Boston, United States.
The Exeter Street Theatre occupied a Romanesque Revival building at the intersection of Exeter and Newbury Streets, featuring an auditorium on the second floor.
Originally constructed in 1884 as the First Spiritual Temple, the structure transformed into a cinema in 1914 under architect Clarence Blackall's supervision.
From 1914 to 1984, the theater presented foreign films and independent productions, establishing itself as a primary venue for art cinema in Boston.
The theater contained 1,376 seats and maintained regular screenings, including special midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show during its final years.
The Working Union of Progressive Spiritualists continued holding meetings in the lower auditorium until 1974, while films were shown in the upper section.
