I’m pretty sure this isn’t an old picture of the Capitol Theatre. This cross street is Oak Street looking north into Main Street. There was an stage theatre on that corner where the District Magistrate now. I’m almost certain. I once saw a picture of it when it was playing George Bernard Shaw’s PYGMALION. Plus, this picture looks much older than 1947, when the Capitol opened.
The theatre is completely stripped; all the ornamentation, seats and stage is gone. Huge holes in the roof and the entire thing is a stripped shell.
Somehow the photo’s I posted were deleted. Here they are again. First is front of building. Second shows the depth of the building from the side.
