Theatre

This theatre appears on the September 1914 Sanborn, in a very old two story wooden building that dated to sometime before 1883. The 1906 map shows this structure divided into several businesses including a bakery and a laundry.

The 1914-15 American Motion Picture Directory lists the Gem, American, and Majestic Theatres, along with a Nickelodeon and the Tipton Amusement Co. Only the Nickelodeon has a location (on Cedar Street). Whichever one this was, it had closed by 1926, when only the Hardacre Theatre is listed.

This building was demolished long ago, and the unattractive dryvit restaurant building (which uses a 4th Street address) located here is likely a remodeled 1920’s structure.

Note that the historic address appears to have been 325-327, but odds and evens have switched sides.
