The Grand Theatre opened for motion pictures and vaudeville in late-January 1910. The theatre was housed inside the former Muchitz Hall at the Muchitz House (a local hotel) owned by Martin Muchitz. Edward McCrew, the theatre’s first manager, lived at the hotel.
The hotel and the theatre have long since been demolished.

Hotel was renamed the Main around 1950-60, and was torn down in 1982. Quite a good looking-building. The theater was still open in 1914, but had reverted to use as a hall by 1927.
The hotel was constructed sometime around 1900, replacing an older wooden hotel, the Davies House, which burned May 5, 1899. The hall was a later addition. It does not appear on the 1903 map, but has been added by 1908. As can be seen from the map view, it was constructed entirely of wood.
