General Information:

This theater opened in the late 1920's, changed hands a few times and was remodeled before being destroyed by fire in 1938. The intersection where the theater was supposedly located is mostly residential now, that was even true in the 1950's.

There are mentions of other theaters in the 40's and even a brand new theater being proposed in the 1970's. More research will be needed to determine if these were separate from the Buff-Lo or not. Maybe the '38 fire wasn't a total loss?
