I could not find the time line on this theatre but it opened as a single screen (Grand Theatre) It was triplexed when Fridley Theatres took it over.
There was an article in the Estherville Daily News about Fridley lowering prices. I don’t know how long this link will last but here it is.

This photo is also labeled as the Grand Theater in Estherville, IA. The building is different than the one in the previous 1985 photo.
This photo is of the Grand Theatre, Estherville in 1913 – http://flic.kr/p/9GUFRK
The 1985 photo of the Grand Theatre is not the original Grand. So the original must have been located at a different address. More than likely further up in the business district. We have two listing for two different Grand Theatres on this comment page.
The address in the header is for the newer Grand Theatre.
Here’s a Grand Theatre described in 1916: archive
The Grand Theatre in the 1916 article Tinseltoes linked to lasted barely four months. It opened on September 20, 1916, and was destroyed by a fire on January 8, 1917, according to a history of Emmet and Dickinson Counties published in 1917. The house was later rebuilt.
If the date of 1913 on the photo CharmaineZoe linked to is correct, there must have been four successive houses called the Grand Theatre in Estherville.
