The Capitol Theater was located at 542 State Street in Salem, Oregon, United States. Part of the Bligh Building, it was built in the 1920s for vaudeville. During its heyday, it housed a Wurlitzer pipe organ, which is now in private ownership in Washington.[2][3] The theater was demolished in 2000, but the retail portion of the building, now known as the Pacific Building, still stands.[4]
