Very nice job, Sonny.? Yes, that's it, from a Google perspective.? It's 
funny, though, that the 1897 date has been moved to the adjacent building.

The single-story building at the left end of the block sits on the site 
of the old Opera House, which burned during a snowy January of 1940.? 
That's where I saw my first movie, a Disney cartoon, in the late 1930s.
