According to Ken’s photo,m the frontage seems fairly large for a neighborhood house located on a residential street. Tompkins Ave. at the corner, is a larger thoroughfare but not a major artery.

Thanks Ken, it looks like it used to have the facade that a lot of these smaller theaters had.

A June 2006 photograph that I took of the Tompkins Theater, now with a re-clad facade:

Here’s a photo of the Tompkins Theater building. It’s that building with the lower roof and the gray front, the tree in front, and what looks like crosses on the building:

The Tompkins Theatre shows an opening date of 1923 with a closing date of mid to late fifties.
