The LaSalle Theatre building was constructed more than 80 years ago, in 1938/39, by the Société de cinémas Rousson-Trudeau Ltée. The operating partners were Louis Rousson, Félix Henri Trudeau, J. Hector Trudel and Adélard Lévesque.

Eugène Leblanc was the first manager and operator, assisted by Bill Babcock. Messrs. Girard and Larose were the first ushers, and Laurette Lefebvre, née Danis, was the first cashier.

Rousson-Trudeau Ltée also built and was the first to operate the Cartier Theatre in Timmins.
