Located in a nice 3-story brick building on in the first floor, which is currently in 2024 retail space to let. The Dreamland Theatre was opened by February 5, 1908. Operated by the Grelle Brothers with 20-shows a day. It had closed by 1911 and reverted back to retail use.

80-82 is a 3 story building built in 1902. The maps call it the Baker Building. If there was a theater here, it was gone by 1911. The 1905 map shows a jewelry store here. The 1911 map shows that space as a vacant store. F.C. French was the architect. The ground floor has been vacant for a few years.
Dreamland was opened by, but not necessarily on, February 5, 1908, and was mentioned in the March 28 issue of Moving Picture World that year.
If we can confirm the address, I have pictures of both the 4 story building at 78 (Auerheim Building) and the building at 80-82.
The March 21, 1908 edition of The Billboard has a list of Electric Theatres and Nickelodeons. The address given for the Dreamland Theatre is 82 Main Street, Bradford, PA.
I added a photo, which needs to be straightened. Wish I’d been able to get that red car out of the frame.
