The building was owned by Dr. Donald Miller, located at 119 E Main Street, Gillett Wisconsin and was completely lost to fire on November 11, 1967. The new stucture at that address is now a vacant building that operated as Northwoods Title company. The Google is at the wrong address
The recent opening of the Gem Theatre at Gillett, Wisconsin, was noted in the August 5, 1916, issue of The Moving Picture World.
Thank you for your note. Found it! Another side note: When the theater building was purchased by Dr Miller, he turned it into a Medical Building, and later, after he had left the state, was accused of arson when the building burned.
