Edison Theatre

This short-lived theatre was located in the Buffalo Block, a three story stone building constructed in 1885 on an oddly shaped lot.

The 1911 map shows 105 as a millinery, but the theatre is listed at this address in the 1914-15 AMPD. It was not a success, and by 1920, the space was used to sell electrical supplies.

The building has been badly butchered. The third floor, a Second Empire mansard, was removed during a 1920’s remodel. The corner, which was originally a bank with a tower over the entry, is a repulsive dryvit mess. The remaining sections have very ugly storefronts, but the stonework on the second floor remains visible. This particular section is now offices, and has no entry.
