Note that the Garden is listed in the 1914-15 AMPD, along with the Auditorium and Opera House. Not sure what the opera house was, but the Garden may have originally been an Airdome, or possibly a small theater near the Auditorium. Both are shown on the 1912 map.
The addresses shifted a bit during the theater’s existence. The original address was 215. This theater was located in a fine three story limestone building constructed sometime between 1884 and 1892. The 1912 map shows dry goods and clothing sold in the western storefront. It’s still listed in the 1957 Yearbook, but was demolished to build a drab and depressing bank which might date to around 1960.
Demolished.
