Here is the Orpheum before it was demolished.
Judging by the front door, I suspect it was converted to retail before it was demolished.
No specific date is given for the photo but it might be from 2005. It could have been a store.
This is a 1982 photo.
The theatre in these pictures is still standing(2011) I’m not sure if this was the Orpheum or not. I’ve found some conflicting locations on 4th Avenue for the theatre. The address of the ones in the pictures is 139 4th Avenue Moline and I’ve found it listed at 639 4th avenue which is a lot now and 100-blk of 4th st so who knows. I think this is it and that it was just never demolished.
The Orpheum was at 137 4th Avenue in Moline Il. In 1983 the business Taylor & Co Heating was using the space.
it’s defenitely still standing and not demolished as someone else had said. I drive by it everyday
The address in the header is incorrect. Go to Google Street View and type in 137 4th Avenue and you will see an image of the still-standing theater from 2009.
Yeah for some reason some info that had it listed in the 600-blk 4th Avenue, Moline blocks have changed some since that time but I’m not sure they would’ve changed that much. Actual address is 139 4th Avenue as of today.
Cinematour has the 137 4th Avenue address and 2 pictures from 2011 that show the theater still standing. Street View is now adjusted above to show the theater.
