There is no Ellensburg Avenue in Estacada. The Apple map is defaulting to Broadway and Third Avenue. Unless the Liberty had an earlier name, it wasn’t the town’s first movie house. The 1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory lists two theaters at Estacada: the Family Theatre on Broadway and the Star Theatre on Main Street.
The September 7, 1918 Motion Picture News said that “A. E. SPARKS plans leasing the Family theatre in Estacada, Ore., and having it reopened.”
The only mention of the Liberty I’ve found in the trade journals is from the May 9, 1925 issue of Universal Weekly in an article about the promotion of a Hoot Gibson movie at the house. The manager of the Liberty at that time had the surname Feyerabend.
