The Star Theater was built in 1878. It was called Partridge Hall. Partridge Hall was used mostly as a live performance hall, for dances and dinners. In 1920 it was renamed the Star Theater and began showing movies. It remained a movie theater for approximately twenty years. After it closed as a movie theater, it was used for various purposes such as a chick hatchery and later for storage.
In 1980, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as building #80000154. After a restoration, the Star Theater has come full circle. It is now the Star Theater at Partridge Hall which is a restaurant with live entertainment.

Yes, 200 S. State Street should be the address. That is the address given on the Related Website link above. I’m sure that I gave the 200 S. State Street address when I added this theater.

LM, the address in the National Rgister is different, maybe Bryan at that time changed the address to match the National Register even though it is incorrect.
That is probably what happened Chuck. The National Register of Historic Places has given the wrong address or has not included an address for a few theaters. Sometimes the builder or architects name is also spelled wrong. It appears that no source is 100% accurate.
