The Century is, in fact, being converted into condos. There was an article in the Hamilton Spectator about it this week. In fact they said that they were going back to revise the plans to make the units bigger than they had planned.
I definately remember going there when it was still a running theatre. I remember a friend of mine didn’t like going there because she thought it was unsafe (the neighbourhood) but I loved it. I was so sad when it closed.
YOU ARE CORRECT. THERE WERE/ARE PLANS TO CONVERT THE THEATER BUT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. HAPPENED. MANY YEARS AGO, SOMEONE EVEN HAD A IDEA OF CONVERTING IT INTO A MUSIC HALL BUT THE COST AND THE INTEREST WAS NOT THERE. LIKE MANY OF HAMILTON’S OLD THEATERS THAT HAD STAGES IN THEIR EARLIER YEARS IT LOOKS AS IT’S FATE MIGHT BE THE SAME AS THE CAPITAL AND PALACE. MAKING ANOTHER PARKING LOT.
Mark,
According to this notice from May of 2003 on the city of Hamilton’s website, the Century was supposed to be converted into lofts. I take it that didn’t happen from your comment above.
THE CENTURY HAD A BALCONY WHICH WAS HIDDEN BY A FALSE CEILING WHICH WAS PUT IN WHEN IT WAS CONVERTED TO A MOVIE HOUSE. IT DOES STILL STAND BUT I HAVE HEARD THAT PART OF THE ROOF HAS FALLEN IN SO THE CONDITION INSIDE IS UNKNOWN.
