This must have been the house that opened in 1907 as the Nickelodeon, noted in Douglas Gomery’s 1992 book Shared Pleasures: A History of Movie Presentation in the United States. It later moved and was renamed the Idle Hour, and was still in operation under that name in 1916 when the larger Isis Theatre opened. Gomery doesn’t give addresses, or say if the Nickelodeon was renamed before or after it moved to its new location, but the new location appears to have been 511 State Street.
