Update: Correct address is 115 N. Main Street. Building is still standing. Built, opened and operated by Sol Winokour from Chicago in 1938. Suffered a fire May 21, 1946 but later reopened. Changed ownership several times and was renamed Fleet in 1952. Closed in 1954 and became the Watervliet Furniture Company and maintained the marquee with that name. In 1992 it became Bob’s Hobby & Collector Shop which has now moved down the street as B and E Racing as of 2018, but still owns the building. His saga in the below link including condition of the former theatre building.
