I’ve been through all 23 pages of the 1914 map, and whatever is in the photos is not on the map. There are a lot of large wooden buildings, but they’re things like livery stables, lumberyards, and factory outbuildings.
I’m not sure what these photos that were added are of, but it is not the theater in this listing. It’s possible that Ken supplied an incorrect name, but looking at streetview even today, it’s obvious that this huge shed was not on Main. Looks like whatever this theater was, and wherever it was, it was on the edge of a town in a residential area. I’ve added a 1914 map view showing the theater I intended to list, and the theater to the north. I’ve also added a view showing more of the block, so that all three theaters located in this area are visible.
The Lyric opened on September 1st, 1909 and reopened as the mall on July 11th, 1914 and closed or stopped placing ads in 1923. 1909 and 1914 grand opening ads posted.
