The October 15, 1921 issue of Moving Picture World said that the Warner Theatre in Niles was a new house built on the site of the Niles Opera House, which had burned the previous year. This web page from the Niles Historical Society says only that the top floor of the Opera House was removed following the fire, but photos of the Opera House and the Warner Theatre show that the Warner’s façade was quite different, with a different pattern of fenestration. The reconstruction must have been quite extensive.
