In 1987 the Mart family sold the building to Oskaloosa Theaters, Inc., which renamed it the Cinema Theater and removed the marquee. A private investment group later purchased the building and restored the marquee and original name. The building on the right side of the photograph is the Grinnell Granite Marble Works, which was replaced in 1917 by a 2-story brick building.
