Harvard Exit Theatre

Box office and entrance of Harvard Exit Theatre

The Harvard Exit Theatre is a twin cinema located in Seattle, Washington. It is housed in a building built in 1925 by the Woman's Century Club,[1][2] which still meets there at midday on the third Friday of the month.[3] The building was sold in 1968 on the condition that the lobby not be altered, which it has not been to this day.[3] In that same year it was converted into a cinema by Jim Osteen and Art Bernstein,[4][5] and reports began to surface that the building was haunted by a woman in 1920s garb.[1][2][6] However, reports ceased in 1987.[2] The theatre was owned by O'Steen & Harvard Investments[7] and operated by Landmark Theatres [8] until 2015, when developer Scott Shapiro purchased the building for conversion to an office and restaurant space.[9]
