The 600 seat Midway Theatre opened in 1935 and closed in 1952.

A January 8, 1938, Boxoffice item about the new Circle Theatre in Dearborn mentions the Midway on a list of other theaters designed by the same local architecture firm, Bennett & Straight.

Boxoffice doesn’t say if the Midway was designed by the firm as new construction or was a remodeling job. The theater was closed by 1955, when the April 16 issue of Boxoffice mentions “Nathan Barnett, who used to be the operator of the now dismantled Midway at Dearborn….”
