The building was constructed before 1883, and the 1905 map shows a pool hall here.

This entry needs to be corrected. It’s been a vacant lot for a long time, and there was never anything masonic here. This block is pretty well trashed on both sides. Vacant lots and awful remodels are the order of the day. The building would have been next to the ugly little formstone bar.

The February 15, 1910 issue of The Nickelodeon had this item: “LEAVENWORTH, KANS.-C. F. Mensing, owner of the Casino and Princess theaters, has purchased the Palm Theater, 31 [sic] Delaware street, and the Fern Theater, 302 Delaware street, both formerly owned by Ed Lampson. This gives Mr. Mensing complete control of the moving picture business in this city.”
