This short lived theatre appears on the 1907 Sanborn, in the northern storefront of a two-story brick building. This had been constructed in 1901 as a buggy repository.
By 1913, it has become a carriage dealer. The ground floor is a rather shabby modern remodel, and the building is home today to a karate instructor.

One of the unidentified theaters in Rochester might have been a house called the Star, which was the subject of several newspaper articles in the Rochester Sentinel. It’s first appearance was in an ad on March 23, 1910, and the last an item on June 7, 1912, but given this building’s history as a buggy repository, and the theater’s appearance on the 1907 Sanborn, this one is more likely the house mentioned in this item from the July 15, 1907 issue of the Sentinel: “John Fieser will move his stock of buggies back into the room occupied by the Theatorium.”
That sounds like a pretty firm ID. Thanks!
