The Garden Theatre was remodeled in 1917. Construction was to start at once, according to the October 13 issue of Motography. Plans for the project had been prepared by C. Howard Crane.
An item appearing in the April 28, 1929 issue of Film Daily magazine noted that the Garden,a 13-year-old house, had closed and would be razed.
Main Street is now called Michigan Avenue. The address for the Garden Theatre should be 39-41 Michigan Avenue West.
The Garden was one of seven theaters listed in the 1914 Battle Creek city directory. This timeline of events in Battle Creek says that the Garden Theatre opened in 1913.
