I spent many a Saturday at the Midway in the 50s. The admission then was $.25 The Alden on Ford road was $.14. The Carmen on svhafer was $.50 expensive compared to the others. When the Midway closed it was turned into a shoe store.

I was very young at the time, but I vaguely remember seeing this building. I think at the time, it may have been the Budny Building, and I know in later years it was the Budny Building. The Budny shoe was later on the main floor.

Considering the small size of the stores in this building, I believe that the auditorium was demolished, leaving only the lobby portion of the building.
