The building may possibly have been older, but the theater does not appear in any directories until 1929. The building seems to have been built sometime between 1901 and 1910 as a furniture store. It was very deep, and had a hall on the 2nd floor, with a very deep balcony at the rear. The 1929 guide lists it with 1,000 seats, while the 1937 guide lists it as 800.
