Elite Theatre

This theater was located in the Richland Block, a large and ornate three story brick commercial block with metal bay windows. It was built sometime between August 1886 and November 1887, since it only appears on the later map. In 1931, the western half of the building was demolished to construct a large Montgomery Ward on the corner. That is apparently still there under a criminally ugly ‘70s remodel. The rest of the building, comprising 409 and 411, was still there in 1950, but was likely demolished by the '70s.
