Chicago's Grand Opera House was opened as part of a renovation of Hamlin's Theatre building.

---

In the 1910s, it was taken over by George M. Cohan and renamed. The Shubert Organization subsequently operated the theatre.

It was modernized in 1926.

The theatre became a movie house in 1942 and was renamed the RKO Grand the following year. It showed movies until March 1958 and was demolished a month later.

The Richard J. Daley Center was built on the site.
