The Rowena was built in 1913, closed in 1965 and was torn down in 1979.

The Rowena first opened in 1913 in the 100 S. block of Leroy, with 200 seats. Six years later, it moved to 115 N. Leroy, which was a 400-seater. It was named for the daughter of Marcus Peck, the original owner.

A 1977 directory lists it as still being in business. Most of downtown Fenton was torn down in the late 1970s for a short-lived mall.
