The Isis Theatre, located on the northeast corner Palafox and Garden Streets, was a Saenger Amusement Company venture and 'sister theater' to the nearby Saenger and Rex Theatres. It was built in 1914 for C. H. Turner[1] on the site of the former Caldwell House with a capacity of 500 seats.
The Isis was remodeled in early 1938,[2] shortly after the Saenger company opened the nearby Rex Theatre for second-run movies.
After the theatre closed, it was renovated in (date needed) for use as an office building. Bricks from the theater were salvaged during the renovation and make up the floor in Seville Quarter's "Phineas Phogg's" dance hall.
Merrill Lynch occupied the building for several years before relocating to Palafox Pier. The current downstairs tenant is Delta Health Group.
