Incorrect photoand address are posted on this site. The theater opened in 1929 as the Kameo then in 1948 as the State then in 1967 as the Showcase and shortly thereafter was renamed the Showplace. It was across from the location in the photo at 424 North St. The Showplace was the last of the free standing downtown theaters to close and that was in 1987. It was razed in 1997 and is now a parking lot. The address on the photo is of the former Strand Theater.
