No reason to think it was somewhere else. Any time after late 1908 is perfectly plausible.

The Princess is listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory, though no address is given so it might have been at a different location then.

The dates are all wrong on this. The front portion was not built until sometime between 1901 and 1908. It was a commercial building, likely with apartments above. The auditorium does not appear until the 1915 map, which shows the entrance in the southern portion of what is now the Colonial Hotel, with an 821 address. 817 belonged to an unrelated building to the north.
