This has not been demolished. It’s a True Value hardware store, and has been for many years. The address is 455 Ridgely St. The building is much older than 1929. It was originally a small church, which likely dated to the early 1800s. The church appears on the 1911 map, and was extended both at the front and rear to create the theater. You can still see the bricked-in windows.
I’ve added a recent photo of this very much undemolished theater.
Most likely closed on September 27, 1958.
