This Facebook page has a discussion about the Round Mountain Theatre among long-time Covelo residents. A number of the comments mention the Tuttles. It’s not easy to puzzle out details from all the (sometimes conflicting) memories, but what is clear is that the theater was in the 76300 block of Main Street. Either before or after the building was moved it was next door to what is now Eel River Charter School, which is at 76350 Main.
The theater, which had wooden seats, was a large redwood building which, after its theater days, may have been a church for a while, then the offices of a publishing company, and finally a building supply store. It eventually burned down. The Facebook post has a photo of the entrance area (there were wooden stairs up to a narrow porch), but you can’t tell much from it.
Boxoffice, Feb. 26, 1949: “The H. C. Tuttles have purchased the theatre business in Covelo from G. W. Taylor of San Andreas, who has owned the business for the last ten years. The Tuttles plan to enlarge, repair and modernize the building in the spring”
