Summary

This impressive four-story brick building has anchored the north end of Kearney's commercial district since its construction in 1927. It has long served its intended dual functions as a stage/movie theater and as Kearney's Masonic Lodge and is significant to the city's social and entertainment history. The building was designed in the Neoclassical style by architect James T. Allen, who had experience in theater design after completing the Roseland Theater in Omaha four years earlier.
