The Garden closed in 1953. In 1954, the then popular downtown grocer, Springfield Market, took it over, gutted the theater and it became a grocery store until the mid ‘60’s.

The National Register of Historic Places has this building listed as the Edisonia Theater (added 1983 – Building – #83004606). Did the Garden Theater open as the Edisonia Theater?
