The Warner Centre is a former theater and concert hall located at 332 Fifth Avenue in Downtown Pittsburgh. It opened as the Grand Theatre on March 7, 1918, with Douglas Fairbanks in Headin' South and Winifred Westover in Her Husband’s Wife. The theater was renamed Warner Theatre on January 2, 1930. In 1983 the theater was closed, the auditorium was demolished, and a two-story shopping center named Warner Center was built on the site.{{cite web|title= Warner Theatre|url=http://cinematreasures.org/theaters/4368| publisher=Cinema Treasures|accessdate=2019-04-04}}{{cite web | title =Warner Centre | publisher =Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership | url =http://www.downtownpittsburgh.com/go/warner-centre }}{{cite news | last =Belko | first =Mark | title =Warner Centre stands as reminder that Downtown restoration is not complete | newspaper =Pittsburgh Post-Gazette | date =June 14, 2009 | url =http://www.post-gazette.com/business/businessnews/2009/06/14/Warner-Centre-stands-as-reminder-that-Downtown-restoration-is-not-complete/stories/200906140170 }}
