The building in the photo above is standing at 111-113 S. 9th Street. On the 1916 Sanborn map there is a garage at 113, but 111 is a vacant lot. On the 1924 Sanborn, the building has been expanded across both lots but is still occupied by a garage. I don’t think either side of the garage was ever a theater. The 1910 Sanborn shows a “Cheap Theatre” next door at 115, and I think that must have been the Majestic.
By 1916, 115 S. 9th was also serving as a garage. If the Majestic reopened after the 1913 fire, it might have been as the Electric Theatre, one of the only two houses listed at Frederick in the 1914-1915 AMPD (the other was the Gem, which is accounted for.) In any case, the house was definitely gone by 1916.
First mention of the Majestic was on January 3rd, 1913. Article of the fire.
