Information for this tour was contributed by Ken Roe.

This theatre is considered one of the first of a new breed of 'movie palace' in the midwest. The current occupiers, "House of Prayer, Church of God in Christ", only occupy the main orchestra stalls floor. The upper sections of the auditorium are abandoned and hidden by a false ceiling.
