The Milo Theatre opened in the 1920’s and closed in the 1950’s. A carpet cleaning business, Arsalanian Brothers, has operated out of the Milo Theatre building since the late-1950’s and was still in business until it was destroyed by a fire in May 2007. I think a barber shop was in the building at one time as well. The marquee was still intact, advertising the carpet cleaning business.

Drove by the Milo today, the marquee was removed but the carpet cleaning business is still there.
Listed in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook with a seating capacity of 700.
On May 14, a fire destroyed the carpet warehouse. . Is this Milo?
Or is the business housed in the old theater? I haven’t been by there in quite awhile. My recollection says the theater was to the East.
Below is the news report with a shot of the burned out warehouse (theater?)

I think the address may have been 10009 Miles Avenue. That’s where the Arslanian business was located. Here is a site that discusses th Arslanians moving into the old theater. Incidentally, 10000 Miles Avenue is a cemetery, so I assume the carpet warehouse is across the street.

That’s an interesting photo. You can expand it and move the view around to see more of the building. Doesn’t look much like a theater, though, with all the windows.
Google now shows an empty lot.
This theatre was demolished.
The Milo Theatre was built in 1915. The January 15, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World included it on a list of new theaters built in Cleveland the previous year.
On January 19, 1916, a telegram from the Milo’s operator, Adolph Mahrer, protesting a proposed Federal censorship bill, was entered into the records of the Federal Motion Picture Commission. This is the text of Mr. Mahrer’s telegram:
The Milo Theatre was located on the lot at the northeast corner of Miles Avenue and East 100th Street, which is about a mile west of the place where the Google map is currently displaying its pin icon.
