The Mercier Theatre opened in 1934 designed by the Boller Brothers seating 518. A two story front with retail to both sides of the theatre entrance. The building was an orange brick front with protruding brick work in a column type effect above the theatre portion. Terra cotta lined the top where it met with the roof. The box office was to the right side of the entrance leading into a good sized lobby. The concession stand was to the left side of the lobby and three aisles leading into the auditorium. The auditorium has a small stage with decorative plaster work around the tage and the stage was covered with a plush red velvet curtain with gold trim.

The theatre closed in 1967 and the lobby was also turned into retail space.
