The theatre had a 2 manual Reuter Organ. In 1967 the, then shuttered, theater’s, projector, seats and rewinds were shipped 150 miles to Kiowa, KS where they were used in the Chief Theatre.

The architect was Walter H. Simon and the Mayflower had a space for Curry & Olson Confectioner which sold candy to patrons. The Mayflower opened on October 14, 1920 with Matt Moore in “Don’t Ever Marry.” Karl Gaston owned the theatre and its previous location from 1913 to the Mayflower’s 1920 opening all the way to 1939. The theatre was ravaged by a flood in 1951 closing for five months.
