This little building has survived for a hundred years. It should have a plaque.

Sam, I agree with that building being the former theatre.

I was just going for the decoration on the column, but this is likely the exact spot of the theater, to the right of the restaurant then.

The smaller two story building is the one between the Collins Building and the Smith Tower so that is probly the former theatre building.

I don’t think that is the same building, the IMIZA Restaurant is at 528 Second St., that would make the theatre at 514 in the other direction.

Compare the detail on the column in the Google Street View with the 1910 photo in the first post. Pretty Cool…. Either original or made to look like the original.

The building is located between the Collins Building and The Smith Tower. I believe the original building still exists but nothing that resembles a theater remains.
