Once operated by Co-Operative Theatres of Michigan.
The 2nd screen opened on March 30th, 1973, showing adult movies opening with “Deep Throat”, a move over from the Cina-Mini. Ad posted.
The building was originally built in 1885 per the Box Office article about the 1974 remodel linked below. So a theatre may not have been the original tenant, unless it was for stage plays or a hall of some kind.
