The Rohrbaugh Theatre closed its doors on October 2, 1915 after it was destroyed by a fire. Lucky enough, no deaths were reported. The fire started at 12:35 AM that morning, as the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit who started the blaze. The loss is placed at about $40,000 of which only 25% of that money was covered by insurance.
