Here is a recent marquee shot. Is the name of this theater “The” Uptown or just Uptown?
Here is a decent picture of the Barron Building, taken during the time the theatre was closed.
The architect of the Uptown was John A. Cawston, of the firm of Stevenson, Cawston & Stevenson.
Here is a brief essay about the Barron Building, courtesy of the Calgary Public Library.
Highlight for me with this house was Funny Thing Happened on the Way To The Forum.I loved that movie and still do.Must have been 1967?I remember going to a doctor in the bldg.next door.The interior was fairly severe.
Nice recent B&W photo:
