Additional history courtesy Sandy Collins Walker: “Built about 1913 as Saint John Theater. By 1946 the name had changed to Circus Theater and by 1950, it was no longer operational. The facade has changed over the years.” Owned by J.T. Wilson in 1925, who also owned the Bancroft Theatre at 4307 Troost. Later used as a Salvation Army thrift store circa 1950s-`70. Still standing today as Delta Lab Community Services, with the original roof line peak removed. Multiple images added.
