The Mohawk Theatre in St. Paul opened in about 1922. This nabe theatre appears to have closed in the 1950s, and later was converted to a Masonic hall.
By the 1970s, it was used as a rental hall named the Smith Avenue Hall. Now, new owners are working on the old movie house to restore the exterior. It will be renamed the Rivertown and used as a rental hall.

The Mohawk shows up in papers from Jack Liebenberg and Seeman Kaplan, according to this architectural site. However, since the date of the drawings is given as 1948, they may have been involved in a remodel after the 1922 opening.
