The building at 4717 is the one with the glass block that looks like it used to be a garage. Maybe the same building.
Seated 276 in 1926.
Looks like a permit was issued on July 19, 1905 for the theater building. A building permit was issued for the current garage building on this spot on April 17, 1926.
Closed 1917 per Historic Movie Theatres in Illinois, 1883-1960 – Konrad Schiecke
