The Howard Theatre opened around 1925. In 1950, it moved across the street to this building which previously housed the Rita Theatre. The sign was moved as well. The Rita Theatre had been remodeled to its present look in 1935. The Howard Theatre has been closed since 2021. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map]

The Lyric Theatre opened as the Lyric Opera House in the 1910s. The interior was gutted decades ago and the building housed Terrell Office Products for many years. In 2015, the mural was painted on the facade and the sign was added. There was originally a much larger blade sign on the building. By 2022, the facade was repainted. The building is currently vacant. For more, see this website. [map]

The Iris Theatre opened in 1925 and closed in 2001. The marquee was removed but the blade sign remains. The front part of the building houses Books and Crannies. The back of the store is sometimes used for movies and theatrical performances. For more, see this website. [map]
