This theatre first appears on the 1912 Sanborn, in a small, one story brick storefront. The building was constructed sometime prior to 1896, and the 1907 map shows a millinery there.
The theatre remains in operation on the 1917 map. No later maps are available online, but this closed many years ago.
At some point around perhaps 1960, this building and the building to the north were unified under a very ugly slipcover by the local hardware store. The interior apparently retains much of the theatre décor, according to the 2008 NRHP survey.

This theater may have operated into the ‘20s, based on information in the NRHP listing. At least up to 1917, maps show Main St was called Chief (street, presumably).
