| Building Notes | The Brooklyn Theatre was built as a vaudeville theater in 1914 at 1021 N. Fourth Street, near the corner of North Fourth and Davis Streets in the Brooklyn neighborhood of Wilmington. It appears as "moving picture theatre" on the Sanborn map of 1915 at that site, and measured approximately 50 feet by 80 feet. | ||||||
