“The Lyric Theater at 913 Main Street had a little bit of history to it before 1926. Form Jewelry store, wallpaper store, tailor shop, hardware store, saloon to theater to cafe' with rooms for rent and gambling upstairs, and for a while, a bowling alley in the basement. In the fall of 1925 Marge Armstrong received a building permit to convert the building into a theater again, with a balcony. The Boise Theater opened in 1926, and fell to the wrecking ball of the BRA during the destruction of downtown Boise in the 1970’s.”
Here is a postcard of the Colonial Theatre than can be enlarged.
It does not look like the building or area where the Onset Theatre photo shows on it’s page.
