Corbin Hippodrome Co. commissioned the building in 1921 and was built by E.G. Holladay of Nashville with architectural plans by Richard F. Graf of the firm, R.F. Graf and Sons of Knoxville. The first ads are January 23, 1922 with live vaudeville by the Shannon Stock Company. It ran live until fire damaged the facility in 1929. It came back after a period of closure wired for sound and playing films which it did until closure. February 2, 1978 “The Late Great Planet Earth” marked the late great Hippodrome’s last film.
