Built: 1905
Style: Classical Revival
This theater and business block was built in 1905 by the Fraternal Order of Eagles. The theater had the seating capacity of 1,163, and eighteen offices occupied the upper stories. The theater still shows first-run films and is now home to Wabash Marketplace Inc. and the North Central Field Office of Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana.
Designed by architect Arland W. Johnson of Toledo and encompassing an entire city lot, the four-story Classical Revival building is one of the largest buildings in the downtown. Noteworthy features include the tripartite round-arch windows of the third floor and the stenciled walls and hand-painted ceilings of the fourth-floor Eagles meeting hall and ballroom.
