Box office and entrance of Harvard Exit Theatre

The Harvard Exit Theatre was a cinema located in Seattle, Washington. It was housed in a building built in 1925 by the Womans 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] It was converted into a cinema by Jim Osteen and Art Bernstein,[4][5] Its "grand-opening preview" as a cinema occurred May 20, 1969,[6] with regularly scheduled films beginning the following day.[7]

Reports began to surface that the building was haunted by a woman in 1920s garb.[1][2][8] However, reports ceased in 1987.[2] The theatre was owned by O'Steen & Harvard Investments[9] and operated by Landmark Theaters [10] until 2015, when developer Scott Shapiro purchased the building for conversion to an office and restaurant space.[11] The Consulate of Mexico leased space in the building;[12] the consulate opened circa July 2018.[13][14]
