The Wadsworth Theater opened before 1930 and was renamed[1] the Dixie Theatre between 1945 and 1950.[2]  The theater closed after 1999.[3]

By 2005 the building was known as the Main Street Theater and Ballroom, even though the auditorium was being used as a warehouse.  The lobby housed a retail shop and office space for a radio or television station.  The upper floor was used as a ballroom.
