Prior to its becoming the Abbey, the theater was known as the Keystone, according to the 1932 city directory. Should be an AKA.
Newspaper listings listed it as Abby. Listings for Keystone started in 1923. closed as Abby in 1949

The Abbey was a furniture store by 1952. The store, Perme’s, closed in the fall of that year and Imperial Furniture took its place.
