Church is today Glenn L English St. Should have a North or South component to the address, but would have been on the west side. The 102 address is dubious, since there was almost nothing facing Church. The 1926 map shows the lowest even south address as a rooming house at 112 (behind the bakery building on E Main, which is still there), and the lowest to the north was 108, used by the little annex behind the opera house.

This entry is a real mess. It has information on two completely different theaters at different addresses.

They often say demolished when there’s no auditorium. It’s sort of misleading, since there’s still a building to look at (like the nice old theater on Cherokee, which they list as ‘demolished’)

Website is dead, and the lobby has been gutted. Looks like work is being done.

The address cannot be right. That’s a small street at the top of a hill. Adirondack Natural Stone is halfway down to Ft. Ann on US 4. The entry is pretty garbled, and needs editing.

Correct address is 5434 S Tacoma Way. Union ends at 47th. It used to merge with Broadway (now called Tacoma), and keeps the Union name on the 1912 map. The building is still there, rather shabby, and the theater space is a Vietnamese restaurant.

Address would now be 1518 MLK Jr. Way. The volume containing that area is missing from the LOC site for 1912, but the 1950 update shows a large concrete building of 2 stories, split into two storefronts. 1518, the northern half, is in use as a church. The location is where the police station is today.

Needs to be listed as demolished. Proper address should be on E Liberty.

The front of the building is completely trashed. Only the portion where the marquee was mounted has any detail left.

Demolished. Ugly modern buildings and parking lots on that side of the block.

Demolished sometime between 2007 and 2012, along with about half of the sad remains of downtown.

Long demolished. This area is a wasteland of parking garages and some new condos.

Address is wrong. It’s at 5131 Nannie Helen Burroughs Ave, NE. Gutted and turned into housing.

1,000 seats for such a small town, even with a lot of tourist traffic, seems pretty ridiculous. Maybe they came to their senses.

I suppose it’s possible, but the building was the same size before it became a theater. It’s more likely that the construction and expansion of neighboring buildings meant the end had to be shortened to allow entry into the small lot behind the buildings.
