It is possible that the second location was in the northern half of the Henderson’s building, which today is the American Legion. I found a postcard which shows some sort of attraction board on the sidewalk, and what looks like a recessed entry. The cars pictured date to the teens through maybe the mid-‘20s, so I can’t be sure. Erie had a pleasant and fairly dense downtown up until at least the early '60s. It’s a real dump now.
This should be split into three listings. They are three separate addresses, and have different histories. I suspect that at least two of these locations are demolished. Unfortunately the 1912 map is the last available online. The 1926 listing for the Doric gives the capacity as 450.
