Originally opened as the Durant Theater on September 29, 1909. By 1910 it had been renamed Iris Theater which was owned and operated by E.H. Yeager and lasted only a couple of seasons, closing in 1911.

The Durant Theater opened on September 29, 1909 at 128 West Main. The operator of the Iris Airdome took over the space and renamed it as the Iris Theatre for year-round programming which included both vaudeville and movies. The neighboring Iris Confectionery served as the de facto concession stand. The Iris closed permanently in 1911 and was converted for retail purposes. The building still stands in the 2020s.
