Not at an intersection, and not on Main. The theater is at 115-117 W Butler. Dates are wrong as well. The Star is listed in the 1914-15 AMPD. The building was originally the Apollo Hall (later Apollo Opera House), built between 1897 and 1901. The capacity of the opera house is listed as 600 in the 1905 Cahn guide. The theater was still open in 1986 when the NRHP survey for downtown was done. The building is in fairly threadbare condition. The outdoor ticket booth has been destroyed and that side of the building has been derelict since well before 2010. There was a senior center on the other side, which may now be closed.
