The Rialto was located at 713 9th Street, NW (demolished; site now occupied by the 10-story Edison Place, headquarters of Holdings, Inc.). The 2,000-seat movie theatre was erected in 1917 and costs $250,000 to build.

Mullett) and constructed over a 33-year period (1836-1869). It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1971 and is a contributing property to the 15th Street Financial Historic District and Pennsylvania Avenue Historic Site.
