Some dates, etc. are wrong. This has been demolished, along with all the other buildings on this block. Now a really ugly bank building and a gas station with a huge parking lot.

The 1911 map shows this ‘From Plans’, meaning it likely was not quite finished yet, although there was at least one business there. The 1917 map shows it as the Kennedy Opera House, showing movies as well. 200 seats seems ridiculously low for such a large building. Address was 116 W 5th. I’ve added a Sanborn view to show the layout.
