From the book “Lost Ann Arbor: "In the middle of the commercial section of North University was the Arcade Theater, which showed silent movies to raucous student audiences. After it burned in 1929, the Ann Arbor Daily News conducted a naming contest for a replacement theater, but a building with shops was put on the site instead. It is now occupied by Hamilton Square.”
