You guys got me on this one, I worked for Hartzog Schneck Aviation at the then called Greater Rockford Airport (now Chicago/Rockford Internatioanal Airport) and never heard of this one.
Where did hear about this one?
From Rockford a picture postcard view of the MajesticTheater.
Thanks Don, gee I think I should remember that place, I think that short women was my girlfriend!
From the Arcadia Publishing book, “Postcard History Series: Rockford 1900-World War I” (with the same postcard which Don linked to shown):
“MAJESTIC THEATER AND ARMORY BLOCK, 113-125 NORTH CHURCH STREET, 1911.
Prominent attorney B.A. Knight’s $25,000 Armory Block (left) was home to Rockford High School basketball games and Rockford’s World War I-era Companies H & K. Extensively remodeled, the Armory Block housed retailer Sears from 1928 to 1956 and was later demolished for parking. A nickelodeon turned "high-class” vaudeville house and movie theater, the Majestic Theater (1909-1912) was later converted to other uses and was razed for real-estate developer Max Liebling’s 1951 Nu-State Building, 119 North Church."
