One of the earliest John Eberson theaters with Johnson (or Johnston?) Realty. https://www.newspapers.com/clip/83776060/

Address is wrong. Correct address was 302-306 S Anderson. There’s currently an abandoned gas station on the lot.

The building was a very large 3 story brick building with a peaked roof. Storefronts flanked the entry. The balcony was quite deep, with a concave front. The 1916 Sanborn still shows the name as the Kramer Grand Opera House.

The 1905 Cahn guide lists the Grand as a ‘New Theatre’, and gives the manager as J.A. Kramer. Charles Kramer (perhaps no relation) is the stage carpenter.
