The July 1910 Sanborn shows a 5 cent theater in the ground floor of the Masonic Temple, a three-story brick building with an intricately carved stone facade, constructed in 1898. The 1904 map shows the post office here.
This was likely a rather hasty conversion, and the theater was unable to compete with the lavish movie palaces soon built within a block or two of this location. The 1918 map shows a piano store here.
The building is in excellent shape today, and contains a distillery and several other businesses.
