The site of the former Metro Theatre. According to Cinema Treasures, "It opened in 1915 as the Terminal Theatre, and was originally operated by the Ascher Brothers circuit.
In 1925, the Terminal was renamed the Metro, after a new and much larger Terminal Theatre opened across the street at 3315 W. Lawrence Avenue. In September 2006, the former auditorium portion of the Metro Theatre collapsed and was razed. In March 2008, the remainder of the building was torn down."
