On the 1917 Sanborn map, the Elite Theatre was a wood frame buidling, with the function listed as "moving pictures." The theater had electric lights, heat stoves, and a gasoline engine. Between 1913 and 1917, a 12-foot addition was apparently added between the foyer and the sidewalk. Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, June 1917
On the 1931 Sanborn map, the Elite Theatre had become a garage with a capacity for 25 cars, with a gas tank out front. Missing in the revised drawing are one of the interior walls and a small room south of the former stage. A similarly sized room was added north of the stage. Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, August 1931
The 1931 Sanborn map shows the location of the Elite Theatre, about 77 feet north of the Gem Theatre. The address would have been approximately 129 North Main Street. Sanborn Fire Insurance Map, August 1931
