On the afternoon of May 18, 1945, the third floor of the Harris-Warren Theater suffered very minor damage from a fire, caused by a cigarette smoldering in a rubbish pile. The third floor of the building at the time is occupied by Ali-Baba Grotto Hall which is also used by Danceland. The main theater was in a middle of a matinee when the fire on the third floor happened. No damage was done to the building. The only damage that was reported is from a water-soaked foyer carpet.
Harris-Warren Theatre was originally the Warren Opera House. The Cleveland Architects Database of the Cleveland City Planning Commission says that the Warren Opera House was designed in 1886 by Oscar Cobb, with the Cleveland firm of Coburn & Barnum acting as supervising architects.
But where the hell is the Warren Harris Theater, I’d like to know.
