National Theater

This theater opened sometime after 1905. It was located in an old two story brick commercial building constructed sometime between 1884 and 1887. The 1905 map shows a secondhand store here.

This theater was definitely operating by 1910, as it was damaged in a fire that July. It apparently returned to service, and appears on the August 1911 Sanborn.

It had almost certainly closed by 1914-15, as it does not appear in the AMPD. The 1917 map shows secondhand furniture sold there.

This building is one of many lost to a wasteland of parking lots, this one for a dumpy modern bank that replaced a very nice old city hall sometime after 1970.
