The Orpheum was a beautiful balconied theater and had wonderful movies playing into the 1970’s-if it closed for any length of time in the ‘50’s it would have only been for renovations-the front was more elaborate by the 50’s…it was mostly destroyed by an early 1970’s fire and water damage that started on the same block… the address should be WEST main-not East.the Quarry theater address is East Main- the Orpheum was West-opposite ends of the Main Street Business District-Hiawatha Avenue determines east or west in the address in Pipestone

The October, 1920, issue of Western Magazine said: “Pipestone’s new $100,000 theater, the Orpheum, will be formally opened September 1.” Why an event taking place in September was written of in the future tense in October I don’t know.

Teh Orpheum Theatre closed as a movie theatre in 1956.

I think the address in the header should be 306 E. Main St. The Orpheum was located a block from the Quarry Theatre at 204 E. Main St.

A Bennett theater organ opus 967 size 2/5 was installed in the Orpheum Theater in 1925.
