Since that time, seven theaters have operated in the neighborhood. All but one of the buildings still stands although only one continues to show films as of this writing. Motion Picture Theaters Bay View's first theater was the Comique which opened at today's 2244­ 2246 South Kinnickinnic Avenue in either 1905 or 1907. Owner John R. Freuler recalled having opened the storefront theater on December 5, 1905 but building inspecti on records show that the store v~as bei ng converted into a II mov i ng picture exhibition parlor ll in March of 1907. The building in which the Comique operated had been constructed in 1903 by J. B. Julien and v~as designed by local architect Nicholas Dornbach. Julien, a plumber, lived and had his shop next door to his 1903 investment property. The Julien family retained ownership of their building at 2244-2246 for some time and a Herbert J.

The Classical Revival structure featured two projecting bay windows on the second story above which pilasters on the attic story framed windows and garlanded plaques.
