Once again, Chuck has all sorts of details wrong. The extension office is at 101 S Main, and there’s absolutely no way a theater could have fit in that tiny space. 204 N Main, and indeed the entire 200 block, is far too old to have been built after 1954. 204 S Main doesn’t make much sense. Possible locations would be Broadway, Locust, or Maple Streets, all of which have vacant lots and/or new construction.
