Thank u Chuck1231. I must admit that I should have known better. Perhaps looking at the image was confusing for me. I think by now, the rehab is complete.
I believe the old Bonanza will be a restaurant but I could be wrong. Patrick Genna
Chuck1231. Sorry to say this, but I am confused. After seeing the Google image, exactly which of the three buildings is the actual theatre as seen on Google Earth? It is possible that I might have misidentified the Bonanza from the cluster? When I saw these buildings back in 2006-7, was I wrong about which building was the theatre? Thanks, Patrick
Chuck2131 and JALex: I used to drive by the Bonanza daily when I worked downtown. I had lived on Lindell near Vandeventer. For a brief time, I would try to figure a way into the building, but not so.
The “building” next door was demolished a long time ago. It had the remnants of some cast-iron structure but I am not sure and I had mistakenly believed the demolished structure was the Bonanza Theatre! I could NOT find the exit doors of the Bonanza.
I had never seen a movie here. I am trying to understand how this theatre was around from 1909-1916 (JALex).
Is this theatre that old? Thanks, Patrick
A systematic search of City Directories shows the Bonanza appearing from 1909 to 1916.
