Two buildings labeled “Motion Pictures” appear on the 1922 Sanborn map of Bedford, both on J Street. The wider one must have been the Lawrence Theatre, and the narrower one, which was at 1519 J Street, thus must have been the Grand. The cigar shop next door to the theater in the 1910 postcard view is still there on the 1922 map. A modern-looking structure at 1517 today might be the cigar shop’s building, but the Grand’s site is now part of a parking lot.
