March 1978 Vintage Tribune Instagram link with a photo as the Sandburg Theatre. Couldn’t get a screenshot to add it to the gallery. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
At 4:58 a brief glimpse of the Carnegie Theatre reconstruction site in 1967, after the 1966 fire.
Mister Kelly’s already rebuilt and reopened that May.
View of the State Street side after that.

Ran across this May 10, 1963 photo of Peter O'Toole in Germany.
Couldn’t figure out which theatre he is in front of though.
Does not appear to be the Atrium, Savoy Kino or Astro Film Lounge, unless all three have had massive facade updates since then.
Late `40s photo as Dolan Theatre added courtesy Neil Bass.
Definitely the same facade/building on the Quonsot hut auditorium.
So Dolan Theatre should be added as an previous name.
Mr. Bass claims it was still open in 1977 when he saw “Reefer Madness”.
Boulder Creek Pizza & Pub is the current tenant as of February 2020 per Yelp.
Page 123 of the book “Rochester’s Downtown” by Donovan A. Shilling indicates the address was 425 East Main Street, corner of Gibbs Street.
Also that it opened September 4, 1922 Labor Day.
June 1964 print ad just added indicates that address as well.
Underside of the Stockholm Theatre marquee added, credit Minnesota Historical Society.
Appears already closed.
