caption_attribution_description: Pencil drawing postcard of the Hotel Scott in Hancock, Michigan sometime between its construction in 1906 and a change in appearance in the 1920s. (It is most likely closer to 1906 due to the lack of electric poles.) To the right is the Kerredge Theatre which burned down in 1959.
context_page_description: The Kerredge Theatre was a theatre located in the 1st block of East Quincy Street in Hancock, Michigan, next to the Scott Hotel. It was built by William and Ray Kerredge and completed by Fall 1902. The theatre hosted many vaudeville groups and could accommodate 1250 patrons. The theatre was fronted by a circular balcony. The Kerredge Theatre was built in response to the construction two years earlier of The Calumet Theatre in Calumet, Michigan.
  At some point, the Kerredge was converted into a movie theater.
  The building caught fire around 2am and burned to the ground in the early morning of May 29, 1959. The efforts of fire crews prevented direct fire damage to the neighboring Scott Hotel, but it suffered an estimated $100,000 of smoke and water damage. No injuries occurred.
