Wonder if that one is the very building that housed Tower Records for a number of years (prior to its move into the former Leopold's)??? Anyone know for sure?

Ironically, the Tower Records in Berkeley is no more, either!

It was located at 2510 Durant Avenue and was originally called the Campus. No idea how (or if) it was related to the Campus Theater located on Bancroft Way.

It turns out that this is indeed the same building that would house Tower Records years later.

The Campus (later Majestic as noted above, and not to be confused with the later Campus on Bancroft Way) was built in 1914 at a cost of $9,800 (Building Trust #4013, September 11, 1914) and was said to consist of "a two-story auditorium and two rooms." The architect was Walter H. Ratcliffe, Jr.; the owners were J.A. Elston and George Clark for the Isis Motion Picture Company.

---from "WALTER H. RATCLIFFE, JR.---ARCHITECT, BERKELEY WORK" by Anthony Bruce.
