Not Torn Down; The Building at 115 north 8th street in Quincy Illinois was the Hippodrome Theater. the big sign was on the front of that building, I have seen multiple pictures of it and my Mother in Law lived there until 1991, it the “Hippodrome” was converted into an apartment building

if you use the street view and look at 115 north 8th you can see an arch above the front door, above that the metal connectors that held the sign to the building are visible when looking at it in person, the building at the North West corner of 8th and Maine was a Saloon and that building is still there also.
