The Wolfson-Meyer Theater Company, later Wometco Enterprises, owned the theater since its construction in 1930 until 1979, when the building was purchased by Harvey Wallace. The Wallace family founded Ace Development Co., the theater's current owner.[2]

In the 1950s, Ace Theatre was the only film venue to serve the black community in Coconut Grove.[3]
