The Electric was the only theater listed at Beloit in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory.

I’ve added the 1917 view. In 1911, the section past the faint line through the building was vacant storage, so the theater was significantly expanded.

Small correction to the history. Based on my photos from 2010, this building was remodeled around 1920 as a J.C. Penney. It was vacant when I saw it, and became the eastern addition to the bank. 107-109 became the drive through portion. This happened sometime before 2014. I can’t figure out exactly when.
