It’s looks like a garage with a garage door on the(front?)!!
The photo came from this article
From comments on the article above, “I’ve only dabbled in its history as well, but can add that Harry S. Bastian (a contractor and realtor) built at least the 2-story section in 1915-1916. The Peter Pan movie theater operated at least from 1916-1919, but was called the Superba Theater in 1920.” and “According to Gene Gladson’s book, “Indianapolis Theaters from A to Z”, the Peter Pan opened on December 24, 1915.”
Opened with Geraldine Farrar in “Carmen” on December 24, 1915
