The New Grand Theatre opened on September 3, 1914, and operated until 1930. The building was then converted for retail use, and continues to serve that purpose today.

There are a couple of early photos of the Grand Theatre on this page at Pittsburg, Kansas Memories.
The Grand had a Reproduco Photoplayer to accompany the silent movies.
The building must have been built as a theater. The 1913 map shows a little wooden building here. This is now the local Republican Party HQ.
Here is the KHRI entry for the building: https://khri.kansasgis.org/index.cfm?in=037-405
Note that the name was originally ‘New Grand’. It’s unclear if it replaced an older Grand from somewhere else in town. The 1926 Yearbook gives a capacity of 440.
