The La Tech Auto Body shop is still listed at this address. If any locals have seen this building since 2004, let us know if this is the original theater building.
Here is a little more information about the city of Cashmere:
According to the Tacoma Public Library, this is the origin of the name Cashmere.
It was established in 1889, and platted in 1895 as Mission by J. F. Woodring and I. W. Sherman. That name came from a Jesuit mission which had been built in 1863. The present name was given in 1902 since another town in the state carried the name Mission. Responsible for the choice was Judge James H. Chase, who had visited the Vale of Kashmir in India, and liked the name.
The Vale’s name may be in reference to a line in Thomas Moore’s poem “Lalla Rookh”: “Who has not heard of the Vale of Cashmere! With its roses the brightest the earth ever gave.”
There is also a park in NYC called the Vale of Cashmere.
The Sanford City Council was considering a proposal to turn the Wilrik into a performing arts center in September 2004. Since the theater is currently listed on loopnet, nothing came of that idea, I would assume.
Approval of Resolution Supporting and Authorizing the Submittal of a Predevelopment Grant Application to the Rural Center of North Carolina â€" (Exhibit A)
Resolution was approved supporting and authorizing the submittal of a predevelopment grant application to the Rural Center of North Carolina and authorizes the City Manager to sign on Council’s behalf. The Building Reuse and Restoration Grants Program was designed to spur economic activity and job creation by assisting in the productive reuse of vacant buildings in a distressed area. There are two types of grants. The development grant would offer $400,000 to a developer who has clients lined up and just needs to up fit the building. The predevelopment grant is for soft costs for an owner/developer to see if their project would be potentially viable. Soft costs are feasibility assessments, marketing analysis, architectural/engineering analyses, and legal costs involved in the project. The maximum grant is $25,000 to be used for soft costs. The developer would match the $25,000 predevelopment grant with $5,000 and local government must provide at least $1,000 which would come out of the DSI’s budget.
DSI felt that a requested submitted by Bill McDonald to convert the Wilrik Theatre into a performing arts center would be a viable project.
Here is the proposal from the Retzler Group:

Not a fact, but extremely coincidental given the name of the city.
There’s another theater down the street, but I can’t make out the name on the marquee.
Sorry, Ed. It’s from the U of Pittsburgh digital collection. I’m not having any problem with it.
The Vale’s name may be in reference to a line in Thomas Moore’s poem “Lalla Rookh”: “Who has not heard of the Vale of Cashmere! With its roses the brightest the earth ever gave.”

I imagine it is a parking lot by now. Much needed, I’m sure.
It looks like there may be an art gallery in the theater space now:
