Poteau History confirms it stood where Dewey Plaza is today. But they have the block number wrong as 200. 164 is correct. Copy & paste to view.

I just added a 1938 photo, that I believe is the same Bijou as this page. This was the only Loew Poli-Bijou I can find any record of. Please correct me if I am wrong, and I will add the photo to the correct CT page.
