Harper Theatre opened on November 10, 1948 with 700 seats. It was named after and opened by Glen Harper who then was leasing the Fontana Theatre. He also had a residential apartment upstairs of the Harper Theatre. It was closed in May 1954 and was converted into roller rink.
It’s now home to End Times Harvest International church.
