This one did exist. There is a little information on the Coliseum on the www.answer.com site confirming what is in the header. Opened in 1923 closed in 1951, was converted to apartments and shops after 1951.

I have done some research on the theaters/cinemas of Aurora and I have had no luck finding anything on Front Street. I don’t believe this one every existed.

I’m not even going to try. I haven’t been able to find a Coliseum Theater for Aurora.

I think so. The theater would have been in the the city, presumably, but this part of town is all residential. I suppose if you knew where Downer Place was, you could extrapolate 18 blocks from there, but no idea as to east, west, north or south from the old Coliseum.

I can’t find anything on this theater. Maybe the address is wrong.

I didn’t see anything in this block that looked like an art deco theater. According to Google, this stretch of Front Street is residential. I’m wondering if there’s another Front Street in the business district which might account for the discrepancy.

The spelling of Coliseum seems to be incorrect in the theatre name entry.
