The Rohrbaugh Theatre opened its doors on January 31, 1896 after the building was largely rebuilt in 1895.

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.
