It looks like the original Grove Theatre was replaced by a new house in 1941. The August 29, 1941, issue of The Film Daily had an item about the project:

“Shenker Breaks Ground For a New 500-Seater

“Lorain, O. — George Shenker, who built the Lorain Theater three years ago, has broken ground for a new 500-seat house to be called the New Grove, and which will cost approximately $50,000.

“Plans were prepared by W. S. Ferguson, Cleveland architect, and the building will be completed about the first of November. Shenker has contracted to install RCA sound equipment.”

The architect’s full name was William Stanley Ferguson. He also designed the Avon Lake Theatre in Avon Lake, Ohio, and the Beach Cliff Theatre in Rocky River, Ohio.
