Built in 1927 by the estate of Samuel Farkas, the Albany Theater was the first steel-framed building in Albany, and designed by Roy A. Benjamin of Jacksonville, Florida, who was a prolific designer of theaters throughout the Southeast.

The theater portion of the building would have to be demolished.
