Property Brief: 5 South Greenwood, Hopewell – Hopewell Theaters
South Greenwood Avenue in Hopewell Borough was created around 1896 with the construction of Columbia Hall by the Hook and Ladder Company. It had the firehouse and borough offices on the ground floor and a community hall / theater above. The building was replaced in 1940 by the Colonial Playhouse movie theater. Starting in 1956 it became the Gallup “Mirror of America” polling center, and in 1984 it became the Off-Broadstreet Theatre for live theater and children’s shows. The building was renovated in 2017 as the Hopewell Theater indie arts venue, which closed in 2024 after weathering COVID.
