By 1954 it had become a tavern called Sid’s Junction. It was still that on July 19, 1966 when Richard Speck was captured at the neighboring Starr Hotel for the murder of 8 nurses. Photos added and Sanborn Map added.

The opening of the Mid City Theatre was mentioned in the May 2, 1925, issue of The Moving Picture World :

“Paul Rutishauser opened his Mid-City Theatre on West Madison street, Chicago, last month. Many film folk turned out to congratulate him upon his fine little 300-seat house.”
