A Building with Many Names

From teller windows to Vaudeville, the building at 400 E Campbell Ave. has lived many lives.

One of the oldest commercial buildings in the city was erected in 1920, originally for the Grower's Bank.

The building was converted to a movie theater in 1938. In 1968, The Gaslighter Theater company purchased and refurbished the building with a small stage and bar.[10]

The Gaslighter produced melodramas and Vaudeville-style shows there until it closed in 2006. The building was sold and is currently undergoing refurbishment to become a lounge.
