The Cleveland Theatre was opened in 1885. It was known as the H.R. Jacobs Theatre from 1886 until the mid-1890s when the original name was restored. It became a vaudeville and movie house in 1910, but closed a few months later. It was converted for use by the Union Paper & Twine Co. in late 1910, and the building was destroyed by fire in 1912.
