Gah, what a pity; I worked in the building for several years in the 1990s.
The status needs to be changed to demolished. It was torn down for the casino. :–(
The NRHP registration form for the Edisonia Theatre Block says that it was built in 1913 and designed by local architects E.C. & G.C. Gardner. The building was added to the NRHP in 1983.
The Garden is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook as having 630 seats, open daily.
The Garden closed in 1953. In 1954, the then popular downtown grocer, Springfield Market, took it over, gutted the theater and it became a grocery store until the mid ‘60’s.
