The Pix Theatre opened on October 27, 1971, and is still open today. This theatre is in a historical building that has been standing since 1892. This building opened as a Livery Stable and was used for years to house and care for horses and carriages. But by 1925, a department store had taken over the top floor and was "one of Albany's finest department stores for over 20 years."
In the late 1960s, the Pix Theatre took over the left side of the department store and operated til the 1980s when it was then replaced by a liquor store. In 2006, the Pix Theatre reopened and obtained the entire building, offering first-run movies in a 200-seat theatre. The only things remaining today from the original 1892 building are the sloped wooden floors in the basement, remnants from the livery stable that once occupied the space.
