The Peoples was likely demolished. Downtown is in very sad shape.
Reminder that the changes made based on Trolleyguy’s comment need to be reverted. He was not saying that it had become a church, merely that the church runs the youth center.
The February 28, 1948 issue of Boxoffice reported that business men in blue Mound, Kansas had met to discuss the possibility of having a movie theater built in the town. They apparently met with rapid success, as the July 17 issue of the same journal reported the recent opening of the Blue Mound Theatre. The item said that the new house was owned by Ray Miner, owner and operator of the Miner Theatre at Moran, Kansas.
Blue Mound had been the home of a movie house called the Peoples Theatre in the mid-1920s, but I haven’t discovered what became of it.
Trolleyguy’s comment was misinterpreted. The church runs the youth center. The changes should be reverted.
It appears that this facility is being operated by the Blue Mound Bible Church. I’ve added a photo of its interior as of 2021.
