This theatre was constructed sometime after the spring of 1904. It is listed in the 1905-06 Cahn guide. It was a two story wooden building with a brick veneer, and a large balcony.
It seems not to be listed in the 1914-15 AMPD, but is noted as showing movies on the 1916 map. It is listed with 500 seats up through 1931, although the Cahn guide gives a capacity of 850.
This building (which may have been damaged in a fire) was demolished around 1940 to allow the construction of a new theater on this site.

Okay, the State definitely was across the street, and references to it here should be removed. Still haven’t found a good picture of the Grand, but it should probably be renamed Grand Theatre, since I can see that painted on the side in one photo. It was quite tall, looking more like a 3-4 story building.
