Ardmore is on fire

‘We need to fight it’: An old Ardmore movie palace could become a luxury condo complex

The historic Ardmore cinema house hasn’t shown movies in years. Since the theater closed nearly two decades ago, the structure has housed a gym and, currently, an outdoor furniture store, which advertises in bold letters on the marquee that once listed the week’s movie showings.

Soon, however, the building may become home to more than a dozen condominium owners.

In the latest proposal received by Lower Merion, developers want to demolish the back portion of the building and construct a seven-story, 18-unit complex, said Christopher Leswing, director of the township building and planning department.
