Information for this tour was contributed by Columbus Metropolitan Library. The Grand Theatre was built in 1887 on the site of the old Grand Opera House. After the Grant burned in a fire on June 15, 1934, it was quickly rebuilt and reopened October 4, 1935. After closing in 1969, the "new" RKO Grand succumbed to a final fire on January 8, 1970. Photos
