The narrative on Cinema Treasures reads:
This theatre opened as the Gem in 1939. It was later renamed the Mercier. After a remodel in the late 50's it got its third and final name the Sunderman. The two story building had white tile down to the small triangle-shaped marquee. Under the marquee the tile was black with red trim. The small marquee and upright sign were trimmed in red with red neon.
The theatre closed sometime in the early 70's. Seating was 386. It outlasted the Palace which was the other Main Street theatre by a couple decades. The theatre was located on main street which is also known as Court House Square.
In the late 90s, the auditorium was torn down and the lobby area converted into office space.
