To see what it looked like in the ‘70s, go to: http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/hargis/ and enter 'Joy Theater Building’ in the search bar.
Need to add the address! Since this listing has no information at all, here’s what I came up with. The state has it listed as the Virginia Opera House. It was designed and built by Joseph F. Black. William Jennings Bryan spoke there in 1896, so it was definitely open by then. It stayed open until at least the early ‘70s. A lot of the colored tile has now fallen off, but the ghost ads on the side have been repainted.
Address is 103 S Front St
