Also known as the Row House Hollywood, this is a community movie theater operated by Row House Cinema (whose flagship movie house is in the city’s Lawrenceville neighborhood). The Hollywood also functions as a cultural center for the people of Dormont.

Dormont is a charming suburb with a small-town feel located south of Pittsburgh just outside the city limits. It has a quaint, pedestrian-friendly business district with a mix of stores and eateries. Dormont’s name is based on the French phrase “mountain of gold.”

The theater opened in the early 1920s with a silent movie house upstairs and a bowling and billiards facility in the basement. It was purchased in the 1940s by motion picture studio Warner Bros. and became one of the region’s premier second-run cinemas. With the rise of home video in the 1980s, the theater struggled and closed in 1998. After a series of operators tried to run a revived Hollywood, a community organization c took over in 2011. The theater is now owned by the Theatre Historical Society of America.

Movie patrons from around the region come to watch a classic, foreign or independent film from the comfortable seats on the main floor or upstairs on the balcony.
