Built in 1892, this theatre was originally known as the Middlesex Opera House. The auditorium of the theatre was demolished many years ago. However, the lobby building, complete with the marquee, still stands and houses the Tuscany Grill, a restaurant. The lobby has not been gutted either, from the moment you walk in it is readily apparent that this is the lobby to a movie palace. The poster frames, doors, grand stairway, and more all still exist.

Here is a photo I took of the Middlesex, or what remains of it, a while back.

A 1984-dated exterior view of the former Middlesex Theatre can be viewed here. (From the Library of Congress).

A Hall theater organ size 2/4 was installed in the Middlesex Theater in 1927.

This is the website for the Tuscany Grill which is located in this former theater building. Their address is 120 College Street.

Well at least it's something.
It looked doomed in those `77 & `84 pics.
It's neat that they coveted it's history as a theater within the current lobby.

They advertise live music on their website so should that be another function listed above?
