The Coliseum opened around 1920 in Ketchikan. The theater contained a 2/7 Kimball organ in its early days. Today, the theater is still in operation showing first-run films, but has been twinned and its organ long ago removed.

The Coliseum was twinned in 1985 and has been a triplex since 1998.

This should be updated to a Triplex.

I was just in Ketchikan and the theater appears to be a twin. It looked dreadful from the outside, but I guess it is all this town has.

Could that Marquee be any less attractive? Especially when compared to the vintage photos posted by LM on 6/6/04.
