A building at this address was the Asia Chinese Restaurant. It was listed for sale and the building date was given as 1920–however, realtor listings sometimes use estimates for construction dates if they aren’t 100 percent sure. It’s possible that this was the Lyric Theatre building. I plan to visit the neighborhood in the near future.

Update. I revisited Dover today. The Strand Theatre still stands and at 38 Third Street in Ross Furniture. The next lot—which surely was at the address cited for the Lyric is where a building once stood. A construction/chain link fence surrounds the lot. There is a modern building at the intersection of Third and Chestnut, but nothing else in between.
