A May 13, 1950, Boxoffice Magazine report about a small fire which had damaged the Ohio Theatre had this to say: “The Ohio is located in the old brick structure which formerly housed the First Christian church before the congregation built a new edifice farther north on Belmont Street.

A church becoming a theater. That’s rare.

According to one account the church was actually demolished and the beams and 55,000 bricks from that structure were incorporated in the new theatre building.
