The information here is not correct. Though is currently stands empty, it has gone through several renovations and re-purposed first as a restaurant,then in 2010 as a performance venue. It has not been demolished.

The Grove, Elgin was operated by Great States Theatres of Chicago, Illinois until its final three years under the banner of Henry Plitt theatres.

It was a single screen theatre with all seats on one floor. Total seating was 897. Mono sound only. 35mm only. Was considered a “shooting gallery” by Chicago film-row.
