I’ve added the Sanborn view. Note that the historical address was 207 Kansas (Ave?). At this point, they seem to be treating 209 (which today is 811, and part of the same facade) as a separate building. It’s possible it was remodeled while Mr. Dunlap was still involved.

This site has a long history, involving at least one other theater. The building is in decent shape today, and 809 is a screen printing place. I didn’t get a picture, and I’ll likely never be out that way again. The 1926 Sanborn shows the building shaped differently, but given that the name on the front is Dunlap, the current facade must date to 1924. It seems the retail space at 811 was extended later.
