Address was 225 W Washington. This theater was located in the easternmost portion of the Nowel’s House block. Coincidentally, this section of the building housed an opera house on the third floor from at least 1886 to sometime before 1899. By 1921, it was a furniture store. The 1942 map shows nothing else in that section, so it’s possible it occupied all three floors. There was a large rectangular marquee extending the entire width of the theater frontage. Now replaced by a parking lot.
Closed In 1957.
