The Wallace Theatre opened prior to 1909, and was designed in a Neo-Classical style with seating listed at 729. The Wallace Theatre was around the corner from the larger Roxy Theatre. It was operated by Gregory Theatres when it opened and later by Alliance Theatres until its closing.
The theatre closed in 1961 and was later demolished. A CVS Pharmacy now sits on the site of the former Wallace Theatre.

The Wallace Theatre was in operation at least as early as 1909, when an item in the April 23 issue of the Rochester Sentinel said that Charles Holden, owner of a stock company then playing at the Park Theatre in Indianapolis, had secured a lease on the Wallace Theatre in Peru. Holden already controlled the Eagles Theatre in Wabash, and later that year would take over the Manitou Theatre in Rochester, a vaudeville house which he would convert into a movie theater.
