Knickerbocker Theatre

Knickerbocker Theatre was located at 219 Capitol Boulevard, Nashville, TN 37219. It had a back entrance at 205 6th Avenue North, as well. Built in 1916, it had 1 screen with 1100 seats, and included a 3 manual, 12 rank Kimball organ installed in the back of the theatre.

The Tennessean announced the grand opening of the theatre by William H. Wassman in its March 22, 1916 issue, describing it as "beautifully decorated in ivory, green and gold, altogether it is one of the handsomest establishments in the country." The steel line was provided by the Nashville Bridge Company, and the foundations and concrete were constructed by Foster & Creighton.

The interior of the theatre was decorated with birds of paradise frescoes, likely done by Otto Hylen, a renowned local artist. These frescoes remained intact and could be seen on the exposed interior walls as late as 1995.

The theatre closed in 1961, and by 1990 the building was vacant, when it was demolished.
