I would love to have anything you could find, and I hope that I might have heard the name when you tell me who your relative is. Although I am only 50 years old, I have heard most of the names from that time. I still have 1 employee that has been with the family since 1953! So he may remember her as well!

Many times I have tried in the past to get these, but as I have owned the building for the last 25 years, and it has been in my family since it was built in 1911, noone has any pictures other than what I might have.

None of those things were saved. I am to young to even have been born when the transformation was done. As I said, the old engine is still in place that powered that first air conditioner. I have never seen the inside myself and would love to see any pics that anyone has of the theater. The old brackets that once held the screen are still in the top of the wall. The old bathrooms are still there as original as they were. We just closed the building on Jan 1, 2004.

The theater is not intact anymore, and there is probably no way the cost would be worthwhile to convert it back to a theater. Sadly, I do not have any interior pics from when it was a theater, only as a furniture store.

It was never ‘Gutted" into furniture. Part of the building was built to sell furniture from the very beginning. When the theater closed that part of the building was converted into more selling space. There were still more stores renting space on the Davison side until 1964.

My family has owned the building since it was built in 1911. it was used by us for 4 generations for furniture. It was supposed to have one of the first air conditioned theaters in the country. The V8 engine that powered is still in place. We still own the building as of today, 2003
