The Showplace was one of the last single screen theaters built in the greater Cleveland area. It was located in a small shopping center at the corner of Euclid Avenue and SOM Center Road; the entrance to the center was on Euclid.
It had a very small sign and marquee at the center’s main entrance; the theater itself was in a building to the left of the center’s main entrance driveway.
Its life as a theater was brief, opening in 1972 and closing in the early 1980’s. It had a very small lobby but had a large though spartan auditorium with a large screen. The building today houses a number of retail operations and there is no trace on the exterior that a theater ever existed there.
