Bijou Theatre

Ah, I figure it was on upper Broadway. The Savings Bank Block is the building next door to Reny’s, formerly the Music Hall Theatre. If it was in the Savings Bank Block, then I’m almost certain it was at 206 Broadway and that Foss leased the storefront from S.O. Tarbox.

Richard Mallet’s book “The Last Hundred Years” (a history of the town) mentioned that the storefront the Bijou was in would later be resued as the office for the power company. Jabez Currier Tarbox, who was co-owner of the Music Hall, had a brother, Samuel Orland. Samuel owned a general merchandise store next door to the Music Hall at 206 Broadway and he would later become the president of the Farmington Power Company.
