This theater, located on South State Street at 31st Street opened in 1906, as the Grand Theatre. In 1911, after a new and larger Grand Theatre opened just a couple doors down State Street, the old Grand Theatre was acquired by the O.C. Hammond circuit and renamed the Phoenix Theatre, becoming a movie house.
The Phoenix Theatre closed in 1928 before switching to sound films, and the building, like its replacement nearby, the Grand Theatre, was razed in the late-1950’s, to make was for the campus of the Illinois Institue of Technology (IIT).
