In the 1920s image that DavidZorning has found you can see the initials “IOOF” at the very top of the building, so it was indeed an Odd Fellows Hall originally.
1920s image of Leddy’s Hall added image via Terrie Brackett Dolan‎. The theater was on the second floor of this building. Barlett’s 5 & 10 on the first floor later became Holt’s Store per Joyce Hyre. Cady’s TV was later on the left, A&P was on the right, per Mike Porter Sr.
I read that this was a former Odd Fellows Hall, but I’m not sure of that. The building is called the Leddy Theatre Building or Leddy Brothers Building, and was recently for sale.
There was another Leddy’s Theatre over in Epping NH. Both cinemas were under the same management. The one in Epping later became the Community Theatre.
The Theatre Historical Society archive has the MGM Theatre Report for Leddy’s Hall; it’s Card # 510. Address is Main St. There is an exterior photo dated March 1941. Condition is Poor. The report says that it opened in 1916, was showing MGM films and had 312 seats. There is a note “Upstairs house, flat floor”. The 1940 population was 1,200.
