Klein, this building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 21, 1980. It is located directly across the street from the Pere Marquette Hotel, also on the National Register.[1] The theatre features an Italian Renaissance exterior and a classical plasterwork on the walls and domed ceilings inside.
