Yes, Federal was Main. It’s crazy how many names changed. Delaware used to be Michigan, all the numbered streets dropped by 4 or 5 at one point, and before Federal was Main, it was Commercial. Thanks for the ID.

If 1343 N. Federal was formerly numbered as 1143 N. Main Street, then this must have been the house listed in the 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directoryas the Kozy Theatre. I have yet to find the Kozy mentioned in the trade journals, and don’t really expect to. It is, however, listed in Polk’s 1914 Iowa Gazetteer.
