The theatre was built as the Tivoli Theatre by the Stanley-Crandall Company and opened on December 23, 1926.[2] It was the premiere movie theatre of Frederick for nearly fifty years but closed after considerable damage suffered in a 1976 flood.[3] The Weinberg family, which then owned the old movie palace, chose to present it to the city as a gift rather than attempt to keep it open as a movie house. The theatre has been maintained in the splendid style of 1926. The theatre's organ, a two-manual, eight-rank Wurlitzer, is the only original theatre organ installation in the state.[4] The Weinberg Center holds several dozen events every year, and has an annual budget of one million dollars.[5]
