I believe the Capitol Theatre photos, all of them, are correct.
The candy store to the right is in several of them, and it was the original corner entrance to the Scenic Theatre.
The Capitol entrance moved to the left after the Scenic entrance became the candy store.
The tax record photo is also the same photo.
Also the remodeling brochure image shows it to be the same Capitol marquee, with candy store to the right next door in that as well.
Address is 12-14 N. Main Street.
It is being converted into 50 apartments with 2700 square feet of commercial space called the Scenic Salinger.
Complete is expected October 2021.
Marquee letters were found during recent construction per below link with photos.
The building stood past 1970 as J&W Lanes.
I just added a 1973 photo credit Scott Cisco, which has a `73 Pontiac parked across the street from the former theatre.
