LM, I think the Grand Theatre that was located at 8th and Wabash later became known as the American Theatre located at 8th & Wabash (817 Wabash)
Apparently there were two Grand theaters. The Vigo County Public Library mentions the following:
“In the early 1930s, the Grand Opera House’s name changed to the Grand Theatre. (This is not to be confused with the more recent Grand Theater located at 8th and Wabash.) During this time, the theater’s focus shifted from live entertainment to a movie house”.
Also from the Vigo County Public Library, the Grand Opera House in Terre Haute was designed by the architectural firm of Floyd and Stone.
unless there was two Grand Theatres in Terre Haute, the address shown for this Grand Theare is incorrect. I grew up watching movies at the Grand Theatre on Wabash Avenue. I was born the last part of 1950.
