This is the historic Grand Theater (1938-1981), one of the first theaters to welcome Black patrons. (https://cinematreasures.org/theaters/7957)

This building was later home to a church with a very complicated name (Grand Revolution I Zion Jesus Church or something like that, they don't seem too sure of themselves) from 1984 to 2010.

After that, it has mostly been vacant, with some intermittent use by local performing-arts and activist groups, such as 619 Productions.
