As far as I can tell, this was originally the right 1/3 of the W.H. Schliep building, which was constructed in 1883. It’s not clear if it’s a remodel or a replacement, and the roof does appear to be different in the satellite view. The front appears to be from the mid-‘20s. Yenchay’s is gone, but the building is still an oriental grocery. Both the 1909 and 1920 maps show this building vacant. The historic address was 118.
I see no theater here on the 1909 or 1920 maps. There is a Pastime listed in the 1914-15 American Motion Picture Directory. No address is given. It appears to have closed before 1925. This contributor is frequently in error on locations, etc. This building is not on a corner, it’s in the middle of the block.
