Opened or placed it first ad on August 17th, 1903 and closed in 1963.
The November 1, 1902, issue of The Engineering Record reported that architect James M. Wood was drawing the plans for the rebuilding of Bay City’s Wood Opera House.
I had the lucky experience as a kid to see movies at the Washington! Its interior featured a stage, side opera boxes and 2 rear Balconies! It was demolished in 1965.
When I was living in Bay City I performed on the stage of the Washington. Also, I took photographs of the Washington Follies learning to be a photographer. If I can figure out how to do it I will post the pictures.
I don’t think that’s the same building as seen in the 9/25/08 link. Maybe some error in the captioning.
Here are photos from 1979 and 1985:
