50sSNIPES commented about Rio Theatre on Dec 16, 2021 at 7:53 pm

The Pope Theatre was formerly occupied by the Elks Club, and was know as the Shain building. The building itself is built with stone, brick, and cement, two stories in height, and 52x130 in dimensions with a dark grey face brick and light, dressed stone exterior. The first floor’s main entrance and lobby were 16x32 floored with hexagon tile. One side of the main entrance were the restrooms, and the other side has the box office. On either side of the main entrance fronting the street is the 18x32 store room, which has been used for rent to desirable tenants. The floor itself has rise by a short flight of stairs, to the entrance to the theatre proper, which is the rear of the parquet or dress circle. Leading to both left and right will be stairways leading to the balcony. Which as of 1912, contains a circular form with regulation inclined floor. Construction began on November 17, 1912 after its ground broke.
