Built as a garage between 1912 and 1925. The Kaw Theatre was opened on September 8, 1934 with seating listed at that time of 1,010. Commonwealth Theatres was the operator from 1975 until it closed in 1985. Since closing the theatre has been demolished and there is a parking lot where the theatre once stood.
