The UI site has the 1926 map. The theater was on the left. It seems the original address was 315, and odds and evens switched sides at some point.

The Lyric Theatre opened in the Knights of Pythias' Pythian Hall building on August 22, 1914 by F.A. Barr with motion pictures. It converted to sound in 1930 to remain commercially viable. The final screening took place on February 27, 1940 as a merchant’s screening.
