Mike. From what I know, the Carrige/Lobby was the front portion of the building, the former Princess theater was behind which was incorperated into part of the lobby and the auditorium was next which is what is still standing. If you go to the Tivoli, you can get more history on the Tivoli including the Princess and Wonderland theatre. Mark.
So, from what I’m reading here, when the front of the Tivoli collapsed, was that technically the Princess Theater that was falling over?
The Princess was also the Wonderland in 1908, the Colonial from 1910-1912 and the Princess from 1913-1923.This information comes from a history of the Tivoli contained in a 2004 City By-law to demolish the old carriage factory portion of the Tivoli Theatre site.
The Princess theatre was not located next to the Tivoli but is was used as the lobby for the Tivoli located at 108 James Steet North in Hamilton. The theatre that was next to the Tivoli was the Grand Opera House.( see Granada theatre posted by Chad I.
