The 1914 Sanborn shows an ‘Air Dome’ operating at the other end of the block from the opera house. The theater took up the western half of the section of the block west of the alley. On the street was a tiny two story square wooden structure, likely a ticket office and lighting/projection. At the rear of the lot was a large wooden stage, enclosed on the sides and rear, which were clad in metal.
Given the location, and the substantial stage, this is likely associated with the opera house. On the 1907 map this was a vacant lot, and is today occupied by some nondescript storefronts.
