Pelham Picture House, also known as The Picture House, is a historic movie theater located at Pelham, Westchester County, New York. It was built in 1921, and is a rectangular building in the Spanish Revival style. It sits on an angle at the northwest corner of Wolf's Lane and Brookside Avenue. It features angled end bays, a distinctive round arched entrance, tiled hoods over the large windows on the end bays, and a wood open truss ceiling in the auditorium.[2] The building typifies early 20th century commercial architecture of New York City commuter suburbs with its eclectic style reflective of the Mission style.[2]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.[1]
