A local newspaper story and my 88 year old mother confirm this is the original old Washington theater. I have a recent picture to contribute as soon as the website is able to accept pictures again.

Bryan;
IT’S ALIVE!
They were tearing the modern facade off of it today.
The old brick and carved stone are still intact.
Also the raised section of roof over the old stage that was used
to house curtains and scenery backdrops is still there at the rear.
It looks like the original building to me.
