Supposing the address is accurate, this has been demolished, and is the parking lot for an ugly bank.
A lawsuit underway in 1955 revealed that the Victoria Theatre occupied half of the ground floor of a three-story brick building, 50'x88, erected in 1922 as the Patrick Henry Hotel. This Facebook page has a photo. Comments below it say the house closed around 1955 or 1956, and that the building was demolished in 1973. The timing of the closure suggests that the Victoria was one of those numerous small town theaters that were unable to afford installing wide-screen equipment in the mid-1950s.
