Theater

This theater appears on the 1916 map, in the western storefront of an old two-story brick commercial building, which appears to date from around 1890. As an office was located above, it’s likely it was a simple one story arrangement.

This theater is closed by the 1933 map, replaced by a store. The other theater in town has likewise closed, possibly due to the Depression. (An Earl Theater was operating from 1941 with 200 seats. That seems a bit large for this structure, so it likely never reopened).

The building today is in decent shape, although the second floor seems to be derelict. Some sort of fitness business is located here.

Note that this was Main St up through at least 1933.
