Bee-Hive/Orphium Theater
This 3½-story brick building with Italianate features has a tall parapet wall with a slightly pitched gable roof. The front façade was recently renovated based on historic photographic documentation. The building had been covered by a mid-century masonry façade with nonoriginal fenestration. The façade at the first floor level has a contemporary wooden storefront with a recessed double entrance door and is flanked by wooden pilasters at each end. The upper facade is symmetrical, and the 2nd and third floor levels each have 3 bays with 6/6 double hung wood windows and wooden window hoods.
The facade is capped with a wooden box cornice with brackets above rectangular louvered vents. The renovation included the rehabilitation of the original brick facade and restoration of the original fenestration pattern at the upper levels. The parapet wall and cornice, windows and wooden window trim were all replicated based on historic documentation.
This building served as the “Bee-Hive” store, which sold dry goods, china and fancy goods, from 1896-1907. In 1909, it was converted to the Orphium Theater, which occupied the space until 1952. Since that time, it served as additional space for Montgomery Ward, a thrift shop, and a dance studio.
