A timeline history of Robertson’s Department Store says that the store moved to the former site of the Auditorium Theatre in 1923.

The book South Bend in Vintage Postcards (Google books preview) says that the Auditorium was built in 1898 by the Studebaker family, and seated 1,635. It suffered major damage in a fire in December, 1920, and though rebuilt for movies did not last long before being demolished for the department store project.
