This theater was definitely already open in 1925, but the building doesn’t appear on the 1914 map. It may have been built as an investment by a fraternal order, since the third floor was a lodge hall, above offices on the second.
102 was never a theater. That pent tile roof was popular until the ‘20s at least, and there are two buildings on E Gordon St with the same feature. 102 was under construction in 1901, and is shown as a store through 1925.
The former Oasis Theatre currently houses a church. It appears to have been converted to retail around 1960. The building at 102 South Queen Street appears to have also been built as a movie theater (possibly the Carolina Theatre).
Was this theater ever named the Center Theatre?
