The office of Ohio’s Secretary of State included on its list of new corporations formed in 1919 the Norval Theatre Company, of Cleveland.
The Norval Theatre was designed by architect Ernest Huberty. A notice of the plans was published in The American Architect January, 1919.
Any information about the interior of this building? Are the original seats still there? Any photos current or historical?
There are web sites listing 5306 Storer Avenue as the location of the Rolen Bros. Fence Company, and it’s also listed simply as Fence Warehouse. The company’s web site gives a different address for the business, so they might have moved since those listings went up, though this building could still be their warehouse.
This modern exterior photo shows the fence company’s sign on the building, but it isn’t there in Google Street View. As the building has been used as a warehouse the seats were undoubtedly removed long ago. The floor might even have been leveled. I’ve been unable to find any interior photos, historical or modern.
