The theatre has been repurposed to a music shop called CD Source, buying and selling CDs, DVDs, and the like. The marquee has been retained. Website: https://cdsourcerockford.com/

I uploaded an auditorium picture to the photos section. It’s called the Vaudeville Grand which could be this theater which was located on Grand Avenue. Two of the other photos show vaudeville being featured at the Orpheum so this might have been the same theater.
