This building was originally constructed sometime between 1885 and 1890. The 1905 map shows tea and coffee sold here. The theater was open by January, 1910. The building had been enlarged between 1902 and 1905 to add a storeroom at the rear. It was remodeled again by the time the theater moved in. The theater had closed by July 1916, when the map notes this space as ‘To Be Office’.

The building was vacant as of 2022.
