Theater

This theater first appears on the 1916 Sanborn. It was located in the northern half of the Odd Fellows building, a rather eclectic two story brick building constructed in 1912.

It’s entirely possible that this theater had been an occupant from the erection of the building. This theater continued in operation through at least 1923, but appears to have closed by 1926. Its longer run makes it more likely that this was the Phoenix Theatre listed in the 1914-15 AMPD, rather than the two smaller theaters to the north, which only appear on the 1911 map.

The theater space reverted to retail on the 1935 map. The building today is in good shape, and the entire ground floor is occupied by a consignment/antique store. The Odd Fellows appear to use the second story, just as they did in 1912.
