This second Orpheum is now a children's science museum. The front lobby and adjacent store front area is a museum for children. The auditorium is still intact, but the seats have been removed.

An unusual design, the theater does not have a balcony, but has many box seats surrounding the for walls of the auditorium at a balcony level.
