The Sattler Theatre opened in 1914 and was built on a site that had been used for other theaters in the past.  The Sattler Theatre was comissioned by John G. Sattler, the founder of Sattler’s, a local Buffalo department store.  It was designed by architect Henry L. Span,  who designed many of Buffalo’s theaters, including the North Park Theatre, which is still in use.
