1909 photo postcard as the Star Theatre added, credit J.E. Gover, courtesy of Old Depot Museum. Building still stands today, though the roof line ornamentation has been removed and the entryway drastically changed. A medical office was the tenant as of May 2018
The building was built between 1884 and 1888. It was originally a dry goods store, but is vacant on the 1905 map. The 1914-15 AMPD lists the address as N Main, but that is an error. In the postcard above, the Star is the building in the left foreground with the elaborate cornice.
Here is the KHRI entry, which doesn’t have much information, but has an older photo with a different ugly modern ground floor - https://khri.kansasgis.org/index.cfm?in=059-4270-00014
