Mishler Theatre
The Mishler Theatre is a Beaux-Arts stage and movie theater located at 1208 Twelfth Avenue in Altoona, Pennsylvania.[2][3] It was designed by Albert E. Westover and built by local theatre owner and manager Isaac Charles Mishler and opened on February 15, 1906.Nine months later, the neighboring Rothert building caught fire, which quickly spread to the theater, destroying the interior.In response, the Altoona Community Theatre and the Blair County Arts Foundation purchased it and began renovations.[1] Early renovations included replacement of the seats and the lobby's chandelier with the new one purchased in 1970 at a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer auction.
