I don’t know when the name of this theater changed but it is listed as the 550 seat Sunset Theater in 1930.
This is no longer the glass shop. It’s a home decor store called Posh Home.
The aka name should be Perunke Theater. The Wurlitzer was moved in 1942 to the Emanuel Tabernacle in Seattle, Washington.
A Wurlitzer organ Opus 235 Style 135B was installed in the Perunke (could be Perunko) Theater aka Sunset on 10/31/1919. Status of organ: Sold.
Listed in the Film Daily Yearbook, 1950 edition as having a seating capacity of 481.
In the 80’s it was a Safelite Glass store.I was in the bldg quite a few times.The original parts that were left from theater days were the quaint restrooms.A few other little touches were there if you looked hard.The auditorium area was really GUTTED.Trucks could come in the rear entrance.The outside still looked like a theater.
