It was one of the first air-conditioned centrally theatres on the East Coast. It was the flagship of the family-owned "Neighborhood Theatres" chain which also operated: the Glebe Theater and Buckingham Theater in Arlington County, Virginia, and the Jefferson Theater in Falls Church, VA.
The first film shown at this theatre was Thanks a Million starring Dick Powell. On November 27, 1988, the State closed its doors after a final showing of Die Hard starring Bruce Willis. A multimillion-dollar restoration in the late 1990s turned it into a venue for live music and private events. The full theatrical stage is original, as are the 200 balcony seats and the two lobbies.
