1535 Market Street is now a Honda dealer’s showroom and garage. The back and side walls of the building look like they could be fairly old construction, but if this is the same structure that once housed the Liberty Theatre it has been drastically altered, and the interior must have been gutted.
The Liberty Theatre opened in early December, 1917, according to the December 8 issue of Motography that year.

The April 28, 1917, issue of The American Contractor noted the letting of contracts for the Liberty Theatre. The architect was Charles D. McCarty.
This one opened on November 14, 1917.
This building has long since been demolished.
