The Indiana was obviously much older than the 1920s. It appears on the 1901 Sanborn, with the note ‘From Plans’. At that point it was called the Indiana Opera House. By 1911, it is the Indiana Theatre, with a capacity of 1,300. By 1920, the original balcony, which was an angular C-shape which ran up to the stage, has been cut back, and given a concave curved front. Between 1920 and 1952, the appearance is unchanged.
Built circa 1922, remodeled and wired for sound 1929, remodeled again 1965, demolished 1978. Story of a pre-demolition sendoff here.
