This early Hyde Park neighborhood house opened on May 30, 1914 and seated 996. It stood on Hyde Park Boulevard between Harper and Lake Park Avenues. After closing as a movie house in 1921, it was converted into a bank. The building has since been demolished and a parking lot occupies the site today.
