The last movie was on the night of 17 Oct 1956.The auditorium was gutted and became a car dealership until 1974.The space is now occupied by Home Hardware.
Theatre opened on 16 Nov 1928.
As part of the Odeon chain, was called the Glebe Theatre 1947-1956.
The building still exists. It’s a hardware store and restaurant with entrances on 2nd Avenue.
A modern photo of Bank Street at First Avenue is on this website. Look for number 18 on the left side. The text reads as follows:
Bank Street at First Avenue. To the right Dr. McElroy’s House. To the left are some 1928 buildings in front of the Avalon Theatre, the Glebe’s first and only theatre.
Does the Avalon Theater building still exist?
