     The Granville Theater was located at 6161 N. Broadway in the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago.  It operated for a short time between 1913–1915.  The architect was S.N. Crowen.  There was one screen and had a capacity of 299 seats.  The owners were Harvey Wells, Homer Jones, and Joseph Tuohy.

      After the theater closed, it was used as a real estate office.   From the 1950’s to the 1990’s,  it was used as Mann’s Draperies and Interiors.  The building is currently used as a restaurant.
