120 W. Main Street

Busey’s Hall was built in 1870 by brothers Samuel T. and Simeon Busey. Their bank offices were on the main floor, while the second floor had a large hall used for lectures, balls, plays, and concerts. In 1915, it was converted into a movie theater, then transformed into the Princess Theatre in 1934, with a superb Art Deco front. The theatre closed in 1994.
