Here is an account of the fire on June 26, 1959:
Fire Threatens Business Area Of Hancock
Two wooden buildings, both landmarks of Hancock’s earlier days, were virtually destroyed by fire of undetermined origin Thursday night. The Mason building was gutted by flames that spread in an adjacent apartment building.
The Mason building, which had two apartments upstairs, was built by the late Col. William Mason before the turn of the century. Among the Mason structures threatened was the Orpheum Theater, Hancock’s last. The Kenesaw Theater was destroyed by fire in April.
Now called The Studio Pizza & Orpheum Theater. No movies scheduled, only live performances on stage in the theatre. Website: http://www.thestudiopizza.com/Site/index.html
For a time in the 1920s it was operated by the Thomas Theatre Group.
Opened on Monday, August 14, 1911.
