WOODSTOCK, ONTARIO, CANADA —The city has ordered the demolition of the Capitol Theatre after a portion of its roof recently collapsed. The theater opened in 1908 as the Woodstock Opera House and became the Capitol when Famous Players bought the building in 1927. It closed in 1999.
The full story is in the Oxford Review.

Bad news, I’ve been concerned about this theater for over two years, what a shame! I hope it can still be saved. I hope someone can at least get some photos inside and out before it comes down.
Thats too bad it is going to be torn down.
