Theater

This small theater is one of two which appear operating next to each other on the October 1911 Sanborn. It was located in a fairly plain two story brick storefront which which had been recently constructed. This area contained only small wooden shacks on the 1905 map.

For whatever reason, this building was slightly wider at the front, creating an odd dogleg in the two theater spaces. This one had a much shallower auditorium, but did contain a balcony and a deeper stage. If it survived until 1914-15, it may have been the Phoenix Theatre listed in the AMPD. It had definitely closed by 1916, when the map shows boots & shoes sold here.

The building today is in good shape, aside from an ugly 1970s(?) remodel to the ground floor. It is used as offices for an investment company.
