The short-lived Columbia Air Dome which, along with the Columbia Theatre, were both purchased by Charles Kimball — operator of the Pope Theatre, the Happy Hour Theatre and Happy Hour Airdome. The Columbia Theatre became the Interurban station stop on North Kentucky in downtown late in 1914 after being demolished. Both Columbia operations' equipment was sent to Farmersville, TX.

There Are At Least 3 More McKinney Short-Lived Theatres I Found So Far. I Just Found The McKinney Airdome (Around Late 1900s?-1911); The Nickel-Dime Theatre, Later Happy-Hour Theatre, And Airdome (1907?-1917); And The Lyric Theatre (Around 1910?-1911).
