Roosevelt Theatre, designed by Walker & Eisen, was built in 1921[1] and opened in 1922.

[1] The Chotiner Company leased the building in 1930, after which Richard D. King added a second story and also remodeled the theater in the art deco style.

The theater's name changed to Chotiner's Parisian Theatre after the remodel.

[1][2] In 1938, the theater obtained an elephant and paraded it down Vermont Avenue in conjunction with the screening of Gunga Din.

[2] The theater closed around 1958, after which the Stockyard Restaurant located next door expanded into the building.
