Yes, more confusion. Two Masonic Temple Buildings too… The 1904 photo does say Vaudeville on the back of the Hyde & Behman’s wall. Which would have no longer been visibkle once the Oliver Typewriter Building went up in 1907/`08.

I added a 1900 postcard promoting an earlier Lyceum Theatre in Clovis. Also here is the Cinematour link about the Lyceum, with a little more history.

Correct, the year of completion of the Delaware Building was 1874. But it does not clarify that. Maybe it did in other copy that accompanied the photo in it’s original source. But it also says Northwest corner, and it is clearly the Northeast corner pictured.

The Hyde & Behman’s New Music Hall photo posted by Broan on February 10, 2011 is actually a 1904 photo. Not 1874 as is printed on it. It was mislabeled as 1874 years back in several publications. Hyde & Behman’s New Music Hall pictured went into the former Iroquois Theatre building after the 1903 fire. It then became the Colonial Theatre in 1905. The Masonic Temple building in the upper right hand corner of the photo was built in 1892. The Oliver Typewriter Building would be built in the vacant lot to the left of the corner building in 1907/`08.
