Another of the better than half dozen theatres in the downtown section of Fort Dodge. The Park Theatre was opened by 1916. It was closed in the early-1950’s with seating listed at 524.
It was possibly re-named the Varsity Theatre for the last few years operation.

Again, bad dates. This theater first appears on the 1916 map. It was in a narrow three story brick commercial building constructed between 1892 and 1896. The 1912 map shows it as a clothing store. This was demolished ages ago, and replaced by a dumpy little one story store from maybe the 1950s or ‘60s.
