The Rose Theater was opened in 1930. Named for Wallace Blankenship’s wife Rose, this theater was housed in a unique brick building. It featured ornate inlaid brickwork, a scalloped roof line centered between scones on each side and many decorative windows. An angular sign with "Rose" in painted letters was attached vertically above an overhang that sheltered the entrance and ticket booth.
Although there was originally no marquee, in 1948 Wallace Theaters was celebrating its twenty fifth anniversary and the Rose Theatre had been updated with a tall new neon sign and marquee over the entrance.
