Building may still exist, partially. The eastern half is now a very sad and ugly little ‘park’, but the western half is still there, with a really ugly ‘modern’ facade. The remodeled building is shown as two stores on the 1950 map. It’s much deeper than the old theater, but the same height. Could be the dairy, or maybe a replacement?

The Lyric Theatre was closed by the local constable, C.W. Wright on August 7, 1923. A sheriff’s sale included the theater’s Bennett pipe organ and its two projectors soon thereafter. When no buyers purchased the equipment, it was offered again in another sale held August 28, 1923. The Holland Dairy Company opened its new store in the remodeled and former Lyric Theatre on March 24, 1926.
