Note also that the 1912 map shows just a few small wooden stores here. The Odd Fellows were at 118, and not involved with the Belmont/Palace, or the cinema at 120.
The address is wrong. The theater was at 124, and this building was demolished long ago. There was a bank on the corner, which appears to have expanded sometime around 1960 into the odd one story building there today. The 1923 map shows a different balcony from the 1917 map, and notes the capacity as 775.
120 West Central was the address and had originally housed the IOOF Lodge. The facility’s east building was expanded to house the Belmont and Palace theaters. The building existed into the 21st Century but had been completely retrofitted for other retail purposes.
