Today as I drove past the old GCC Southgate Cinema, the wrecking ball was doing it’s dirty deeds. Cinema three is totally gone, the marquee and the front of the building is gone, and they had started to tear down theatres one and two begining at the back of the theatre. This was a great theatre in it’s day!

I believe the Southgate Cinema theatre is vacant at this time. The owner of the building and property is the Southgate Shopping Center. If you were to contact one of the other stores in the shopping center they could probably provide you with the name and number of the property management company.

SOUTHGATE CINEMA (GC unit #547)
5390 Northfield Road
Maple Heights 44137

General Cinema’s first theatre in the Cleveland – built 1964 – William Riseman Associates, Architects – Single screen cinema – aprx 1300 seats – originally not connected to the strip mall, there was a road between the theatre and the bank next door. In 1971 Cinema II was built in the roadway space. Cinema II had aprx 600 seats, and opened on the same day in 1971 as the Westgate Cinema City on the west side. The Cleveland Division Manager was ensconced in this theatre on the second floor. In the 1980s Cinema I was divided in half. Sold to an independent operator in the early 90s, I don’t know if it was further divided or added to after GCC left – now closed.
