Harvey P. Kehr is listed as an architect in Buffalo, NY in the 1910 US Census. From what I’ve found thus far, Mr. Kehr held a variety of positions: in 1916, he was president & treasurer of Harvey P. Kehr & Co, Inc. General Building Contractors. By 1930, the census lists him as a real estate and insurance salesman who owned a farm in Royalton, NY.
This item is from the July 5, 1913, issue of The American Contractor:
I haven’t been able to find anything else about architect H. P. Kehr.I grew up in this place, from $00.14 cent Sat. Cartoons
to Friday night double features. Loved every minute of it.

The link above is the obituary for the former owner of this theatre.
I believe the address given is correct, I am sure it was on the southwest corner of Main
and Fillmore, at the point.

Alan Lapp, I’m guessing you are near Buffalo (I live near Chicago). I had the Central Park on my list of theaters to add to CT. In my hand written notes I had an address of 2001 Main Street. I don’t remember where I got it, but I thought I’d mention it to you, though your’s is most likley correct. Also in my notes—-
In 1927 a Marr & Colton Pipe Organ was installed in the Central Park Theatre and it is not known what happened to it. Anyone have any information?
