The ugly remodels have been removed, although this portion of the building no longer has an entry. It is used as offices.
The building seems to have been originally called the Miller Building, and was constructed sometime between 1897 and 1901. This was the eastern end of the structure. The 1912 map shows this space as vacant, so the theater may have opened earlier, unless of course a business or two came and went prior to 1926.
I’m going to correct myself a bit. It appears this section of the building existed prior to 1884. It seems to have been remodeled at some point to match the Miller Building, but there are some differences, mainly in the windows and structural ironwork.
