"On behalf of a client, whose name is withheld, James R. Robinson this morning purchased the old Billiken Theater property at Tioga and Green streets from J. W. Hook. Mr. Robinson has given a long-term lease on the property to the J. B. Lang Engine and Garage Company, which will use it for commercial purposes.
The old theater building has been used for several years as a warehouse by Rothschild Brothers. It covers a territory of approximately 66 feet frontage and 200 feet depth.
The Lang company plans to remodel the three-story brick building into attractive show rooms for automobile purposes, intending to improve the corner by installing spacious plate glass show windows. It also is the intention of the lessees to erect an addition to the building for use as an annex to their present garage which adjoins it on the west."
