The Mayfield Theatre Building is a theater at 12300 Mayfield Rd. in Cleveland, built in 1922-1923 in the Commercial Style. Dominic R. Cefaratt was the architect, and Christina and Michele Mastandrea were the builders.
Why it's listed
It was listed in the National Register in 2013 under criterion A, with local significance in entertainment and recreation from 1922 to 1959, reflecting its 1922-1923 construction and the end of Mastandrea family involvement with the theatre in 1959.
Physical character
The walls are brick on a brick and concrete foundation, under a synthetic rubber roof, with a wood storefront. Its features include a marquee, Ionic capitals, a terrazzo floor, chandeliers and a proscenium with fly space. Hurricane Sandy blew down the original blade sign in 2012.
Historical context
The building served as a movie theater for an Italian neighborhood through its period of significance, and in 1959 it reopened as the Mayfield Art Theater under a new operator, Rod R. Mastandrea. In 1961 it was leased for live theater and then closed; it reopened as Old Mayfield Theatre in 1970, opened as New Mayfield Repertory Cinema in 1975, and closed permanently in 1985.
