Drake Theater

I suppose this was originally also used as an armory, but between 1907 and 1913 a large armory was built on E Jackson St. It’s still there, used as apartments.

The 1905 Cahn guide gives the capacity as 1,000. Maps call it the Armory or Drake Avenue Opera House, but the Cahn guide uses Theatre. I’ve added a map view. The site is currently occupied by a used car dealer operating in an old gas station that was likely built just after the fire.
