in 1881, the building at Roebling and Lee Av. was sold and reconfigured to become the Grand Opera House, and then the Lee Avenue Academy of Music, a concert and performance hall, which operated until 1895. In 1900, the theater was renovated and refigured again, this time as Corse Payton’s Lee Avenue Theater. You may find it listed here as the Payton Theater. you may read the article at this link; http://www.brownstoner.com/architecture/building-of-the-day-27-lee-avenue/#more-87529
