Alteration
Owners of the Harvard Exit installed an additional cinema in an upstairs ballroom in the 1980s. Alterations to a first floor bathroom, done c. 2008, made the facility wheelchair accessible. To produce more revenue, ownership also enlarged the lucrative concession counter at the same time, and created an interior ticket booth, sheltered from precipitation.
