One of the earliest listings of the Knickerbocker Theatre state its address as 205 6th Avenue North suggesting that the theatre might have been moved sometime during its existence. The Knickerbocker Theatre was said to have been equipped with a 3 manual, 12 rank Kimball organ when it opened in 1916.

He was married to Marie Sudekum (no t). I knew Marie but not Porter.
I thought the name was spelled wrong,but how it was spelled in the paper.The artical just called here Mrs. Porter Sudekum.(spelled wrong).She gave a watercolor of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church to Fess Parker in 1955 when he was in Nashville promoting Davy Crockett,King of the Wild Frontier.Thanks for your info Dave.
I believe she was a life-long artist. That’s how I met her as she was a long-time friend of Chris Tibbott who taught art here in Nashville for many years and after whom the art wing of the University School is named.
Thanks again Dave,that an interesting bit of Nashville History.From over 50 years ago.

Just for the record and to whoever wrote the opening comment above, the Capitol Blvd address and the Sixth Ave address are the same building; the ole Knick had two entrances, one on each of these streets.
