This was known as the Grafton Theatre when the building was gutted by fire in 1947. The top floor, which contained the theatre, was removed following the fire although the rest of the building remains.

According to the book Historic Movie Theatres of West Virginia the former YMCA actually reused this building. From looking at Google Streetview I believe it is correct. This building is not demolished, just heavily modified and combined with the building next to it.
