The Hyde & Behman’s New Music Hall photo posted by Broan on February 10, 2011 is actually a 1904 photo.
Not 1874 as is printed on it.
It was mislabeled as 1874 years back in several publications.
Hyde & Behman’s New Music Hall pictured went into the former Iroquois Theatre building after the 1903 fire.
It then became the Colonial Theatre in 1905.
The Masonic Temple building in the upper right hand corner of the photo was built in 1892.
The Oliver Typewriter Building would be built in the vacant lot to the left of the corner building in 1907/`08.
