A small photo of the Cameo Theater can be seen here.
Can someone tell me just how far north of Danforth this cinema was? Before my time but I have lived around that area a few times, including the first 12 years of my life and about a year ago, so I’m curious as to where it was and what stands on that spot now.
South East corner of Pape & Floyd
There is a TD-Canada Trust branch on that piece of land now.
Actually the TD-Canada Trust branch is the Cameo.
So this means that the theatre building is not demolished, but currently functions as a bank.
I used to work at the Cameo as an usher around 1950/51. The picture shows the basic structure of the theatre building as well as the confectionery shop which was on the corner just under the current Canada Trust sign.
