The April 14, 1917 issue of The American Contractor had this item about a theater to be built in Table Rock:

“Theater: $20,000. 2 sty. & bas. 32x94. Table Rock, Nebr. Archt. A. Bandy, 138 S. 13th, Lincoln. Owner Community Syndicate, care E. E. Hassel, mgr., Table Rock. Owner builds by day work. Brk. & Carthage or Bedford stone, tar & gravel rf., cement & tile trpf. Excav.”
The only other references I can find to A. Bandy on the Internet are all connected with his design of the Lincoln Hotel in Scottsbluff. His connection to the Table Rock Theatre has apparently been forgotten by local historians, as I don’t find him mentioned on the page SethG linked to.

Just noticed the current exterior lamp fixtures are the same ones that were inside the alcove, above the doors in Photo 78 in the Table Rock Historical Society link. One of the globes is broken in the street view which is from 2013. There is also a vintage gas station on the corner that now looks like a repair garage, with the pumps removed.

Such a small town that everyone knew where it was? Thanks for the address. The lounge and hotel seem to be defunct, and I couldn’t find it that way.

From the current street view the address is 402-404 Luzerne Street. JK Remodeling located in the same building is 406 Luzerne. Hard to believe with all the history compiled in the above website, that not one of the print ads have an address listed.
