Not much is known about this former neighborhood movie house on Main Street East. It was opened around 1926, and by 1941, was part of the Schine Circuit. It was still open in 1950. The facade is completely remodeled, but from the side one can make out that it was once a theatre.
When I was a youngster, my grandmother commented on how lovely it was inside this place. It’s been office space for as long as I can remember.
