Following the closure of the nearby Rita Theatre, the Columbia Theatre was constructed in around 1950. It was part of the Phil Isley chain and was soon renamed Avenue Theatre.

In 1990, it was operating as a Spanish language cinema named Cine 2. By 1998, it was operating as an adult theatre, known as the Guild Theatre.

In 2008 it operates as a pawn shop and video store.
