Ah, then it must have been double listed, under both names.

Joe, The current City Hall at 104 E. Illinois Avenue matches the sets of windows on the side wall on the vintage postcard of the Grand Theatre.

The Auditorium was one of seven theaters listed at Vinita in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory. No address was given for it. An earlier Grand theatre was also listed, at 104 Illinois Avenue. I think Vinita changed its numbering system at some point, as the Directory lists a Vaudette theatre at 22 Wilson Street, and there appear to be no two-digit addresses in the town today. The earlier Grand was thus probably at modern 204 Illinois, or thereabout.
