According to one account the church was actually demolished and the beams and 55,000 bricks from that structure were incorporated in the new theatre building.
This house opened around 1915 as the Majestic Theatre, according to the caption of photos on page 51 of Bellaire, by Holly Bruno and Andrew Ehritz (Google Books Preview.)
A May 13, 1950, Boxoffice Magazine report about a small fire which had damaged the Ohio Theatre had this to say: “The Ohio is located in the old brick structure which formerly housed the First Christian church before the congregation built a new edifice farther north on Belmont Street.
A church becoming a theater. That’s rare.
