The building is still relatively intact. All 4 exterior walls still stand and the roof is intact. The brick work for the primary facade is concealed behind another facade and is relatively intact though restoration would be difficult. In the conversion to an office a 2nd floor was built inside the building and the floor was leveled. The sloped floor is still accessible on the sides from the basement (very mysterious). The Proscenium Arch is structurally in place but no decoration appears to have been left. Other original features could be concealed behind the office construction.
the only remanants of this building are the lobby. the theater space itself was long ago demolished. the remaining lobby area still has the slope floor but is in very poor condition.
the theater was located on the south west corner of Pearl and Commerce, across Pearl from the high rise. the conversion from a theater to an Acme food store was done in the early 1950’s. Drawings for this work are available. The back (south) 55' of the theater were demolished and a parking lot was created. The front 80' were also demolished though some of the basement remains. The slope floor was leveled. Remanants of the original building that exist today are approximately 100 ‘ of the east and west walls, the clear span roof structure across this piece, the basements, some wall finishes apparent in the basement and remanants of the projection booth floor structure.
