The Logan Theater was added on to the Barnes building in 1929 on the north side of the building. The entrance and ticket booth was on the south side of the building. One would buy their ticket then walk through the building to the theater. The Barnes building also housed the Captain Logan Hotel and several offices.
The theater was removed (torn down) in November 1980 and the ground serves as a parking lot for The Barnes building. See full article in Logansport Pharos Tribune, November 12, 1980, page 8.
The Barnes building, in recent years was renamed "Logan Square" and stands on the northeast corner of 3rd and E. Broadway in Logansport, Indiana.
