The Fox Plaza Theatre was opened in 1931 and was operated by Fox Midwest Amusement Corp. It was still open in 1956.
Eventually, an auto parts store bought the theater, connecting it to an adjoining building for use as a warehouse.
The building still stands in 2023, but is used as retail.

The Plaza Theatre seated 615 people.
Converted to an ugly beige box with all openings bricked over. Currently seems to be a warehouse for a security company. Some deco detail still visible on the sides/roof.
I suspect the history is inaccurate. This is listed as open in the 1947 and 1956 Yearbook, so it was clearly open postwar. In 1947, both this theater and the Tucker were part of the Fox Midwest chain. In fact, I think the contributor may have been confused by this. The 1933 Yearbook lists the Tucker as closed, not the Plaza. The Tucker was a bit larger, and had a better location, but it was also older.
