Looks like the theatre is still intact! The first floor retail section is now office space with the upper floors congregate housing for the elderly. The auditorium section is still intact with balcony and equipment and restorable according to the real estate listing. Exterior looks in excellent shape! Hopefully someone will step in and save this place!
Also, the building has a classical style facade – the auditorium is behind the side facade. Looks to have been built in the 1920s; and the building is on the national registry of historic places.
This indeed opened in the 1920s. Newspapers confirmed that the Colorado operated as early as 1927.
