Opened in 1925 on Central Avenue, the 1000-seat (later reduced to 500) Piller Theatre was named for its builder and original operator, John Piller (who also owned Valley City’s smaller Rex Theatre). The Piller closed in the early 60s, and was converted to retail use. Today the building houses a photography studio and gallery.

Here is a 2005 article from the Valley City Times that gives much more information on the Piller Theatre, including an interview with the 97 year-old daughter of the theater’s builder and namesake. There is also an opening night photo of the theater’s auditorium from 1925.

The URL that Bryan lists in his comments is no longer a good link. From photos it looks like the rear of the auditorium has been subdivided and there is a business in the rear of the aud with an entrance on the side of the building.
The address should be 256 Central Ave. N
