Citizens Financial Bank FSB occupies the site of the Hohman Theatre. I don’t think the theatre itself was “demolished.” The building was just modified to hold the bank.
Architected at 1,000 seats by L. Cosby Bernard, the $65,000 Hohman Theater had a Christmas Day 1936 opening with a 20-year lease that it didn’t make it to the end of. First feature was “Laughing Irish Eyes”
