Opened as Loew's uptown (vaudeville), was converted to movies later on, and was split into five theatres in 1969. It was demolished (and collapsed) in 2003.
During the demolition a crane hit a support beam in the auditorium and killed a civilian in a building next door and injured 15 other people.
Only the front entrance way is left.
(Has now been turned into condos)
