One story gable roof stucco frame building originally owned by Joe Grosso. Known as the Liberty Theater since August Jr and Victor Litizzette purchased it in 1913, the building was an important early social center in Helper. Silent movies were shown early in the evenings, and after the movies were over everyone folded their chairs, rolled up the protective floor canvas, a band was brought in and a dance was held. In addition to dances and movies, Greek weddings, wrestling and boxing matches were also held in the building. World champion boxer Jack Dempsey may have even boxed in the Liberty Theater. The construction of tire Strand theater in 1922 pretty well put an end to the popularity of the Liberty Theater. The building has been significantly modified.
