Simple neighborhood house with some stud bulb lighting. The lobby had an early ice cream parlor attached to it. There must have been some local vaudeville since the structure still retains a stagehouse. The Queen Anne was gutted to create its current business which is the Three Rivers sheet metal shop.

I work at Three Rivers Sheet Metal and we would love to see what the Queen Anne looked like when it was still a theater. There is still alot of the original plaster molding on the walls and the ceiling. The screen is still hanging and intact with the adds printed on the back and all. Although I have never seen it unrolled for we fear we would never get it back up again. So if anyone reads this and has pictures of the place please e-mail me at shonemig@hotmail.com and let me know.

An article from the Cincinnati Enquirer dated Oct. 24,1989 in their,"Extra Magazine",gives the closing year of the Queen Anne Theater as 1956.The former theater was sold by Joe O'Brien to sheet metal shop owner Earl Elliottt in 1974.Apparently the Queen Anne was built in the 1890's for vaudeville.Queen Anne had been run by Garland Jones for years as a cinema.

I have been searching online for this theater because my parents have an old antique novelty weighing scale that they purchased about 30 years ago and the scale has a recording paper that came with it and a key. The key opens the penny dispenser on the back and the recording paper lists the amount of pennys that were retreaved and the date. But the date doesnt list the year. I was trying to find out more about the scale and noticed that on the recording paper it says that the scale was owned and used by the "Queen Ann Theatre" on Colerain in Ohio. After reading the posts I am curious as to how old this scale is and I would love to see any pictures of the Theater if anyone has any. Believe it or not, the scale still works and will tell you your exact and correct weight after you add a penny to it. Email me if anyone knows how I can learn what this scale is worth and how old it is. Or email me if someone has a picture of the theater. Thank you, email - taylorjrogers@gmail.com

Light wasn't the best today. I'm going to get back some time in the AM and see what things look like.
