No problem. The building that was at 330 is demolished as well, so it all would have looked right. I’ll move the picture to the proper listing.

Seth G – you are correct in that the Palace Theatre has a transposed address – totally my error. The local paper said that the Palace Theatre was demolished for the most part to create a parking lot that didn’t happen. When that didn’t materialize, they made it Smith Park – the sad looking park / amphitheater at 303 S. Main Street.

The only other possibility for this is that either the Dixie or Palace have the wrong address. At any rate, nothing on any corner of Main and Jefferson has been demolished. The closest empty lot to that corner on Main is approximately 126 S Main, which is separated from the corner by a very large building.

Since all the others have an address, this must have been the derelict shell of a building at 303 S Main. It’s got some sort of sad little park in it, with wooden bleachers where the seats would have been.
