The Colonial was the Scottish Rite Building before the 1968 fire.
Same Scottish Rite likely that is today in the former State Theatre building up the street on Wheeling Avenue.
Mid `40s photo added via Dave Holdren.
It shows the theatre was actually next door to the right of the previously posted photo in the Overview.
Cort Theatre address was 804 Wheeling Ave.
After closing it became Morton’s Millenary Shop. (source of the address confirmation)
Huntington Bank is at that address today.
So it was either demolished or radically modified.

A photo from around 1920 of the Schilder Building at Chillicothe, Ohio in Ross Co. Sitting on the NE corner of Paint and 4th Street, it housed the Orpheum Theatre, then the Royal Theater, and then the Adena Theater. A confectionery store can be seen at the middle on the first floor where the Ice Cream, Candy sign is. The theater portion of this building is currently undergoing construction.
Lemon Street is today St. Johns Avenue. Google 200 St. Johns Avenue Palatka, FL and the Rowton’s tile and vacant lot can be seen there. Link won’t add to CT correctly.
The tile floor mentioned is actually from a store called Rowton’s that shared the building with the New Theatre.
It was torn down and today is a parking lot.
The bricks were used to build a home in Palatka as well.
Below is a Facebook link to the Rowton’s tile entryway.
