Constructed as the Sanders Theatre in 1914, bacame the Quality Theatre in 1914 and later named back to the Sanders Theatre. The thetre was built on the site of the old Fountain Airdome and was owned by Fred W. Sanders. The Sanders was one of the last of two theatres in Indianapolis to show silent films on a regular basis. (The other was the Bijou) At the time Mr. Sanders didn’t think sound pictures would last.
Was/is this neighborhood called Fountain Square? I found a website about Indianapolis that mentions early theaters located in Fountain Square. Those theaters were: the first Fountain Square Theater (1909), the Airdome (1910), the Bair (1915), the Iris (1913), the Sanders Apex (1914), the Granada (1928), and the second Fountain Square Theater (1928).
To answer lostmemory’s question, yes this is the Fountain Square neighborhood of Indianapolis. Too bad there aren’t any interior photos of this theater, that have been uploaded.
