The Wonderland Theatre was opened by July 1908. It appears on the 1909 map, in the eastern storefront of the original section of the H.C. Lane building, which was constructed in 1901. It was originally intended to be a department store, although this may never have taken place. Still open in 1915, the Wonderland Theatre was not a success, and the 1918 map shows musical instruments being sold here.
The building today is in decent shape, although the entire structure has been disfigured with an ugly 1970’s storefront. This section seems to be a storefront church.
