The Kennewa Hall was converted into the Summer Street Theatre by 1926. There is an Adams city directory advertisement for this theatre in 1929. It was still open in 1931, but had closed by 1932.
It has been demolished and by 2019 the building on the site has been in use as a martial arts studio.

The 1914 Sanborn map of Adams shows a 2 and ½ story building called Kennewa Hall at 73 Summer Street. However, it was not the building that now has the T & A tool Company sign on it. It was on the site of the building that is bang up against Victory Street and now houses the Cutting Edge Martial Arts studio. This is a two story building (the upper floor has an entrance on Victory Street), and I don’t know if it is what is left of the building that was there in 1914 or not, but it could be.
Google searches bring no results for a Kennewa Hall in Adams, though the misspelled Kenewa Hall brings up a Newspaper Archive result also from 1914, noting that someone was considering putting two stores in the basement of Kenewa Hall on Summer Street in Adams. Apparently the 1914 building was some sort of multi-use hall that was later converted for use as a movie theater.
