Madison Theatre

Another one of the many small Loop movie houses opened in the first decade or so of the 20th century on Madison Street, Chicago’s first theater district (replaced by the mid-to-late 20s by Randolph Street), the Madison opened around 1915.

Like most of its neighbors, such as the Band Box, Casino, and Rose Theatres, this tiny theater also had a relatively brief existence, closing by the early 20s, and not a trace of it remains today (as the bulk of the area which these theaters stood was entirely cleared in the mid-60s when First National Plaza was built).
