Here is a 5/23/52 photo from the same source as the one on 1/14/08. The photo was mistakenly placed on the Byrd Theater page. http://tinyurl.com/65q6na
That was an interesting clip that Howard posted on 9/4/07. The function is still retail, but the description should state that the Castor is now a 99 cent store.
This won’t map out correctly unless you substitute Arlington Street for Wynnefield Avenue. If you do that the building shows up pretty much as described above.
This lawsuit involves labor trouble at the theater in 1998. It was alleged that a flare was tossed in the theater, causing it to be evacuated. http://tinyurl.com/6a9874
Here is a 1964 photo from the LAPL. The theater is showing Spanish films. Governor Pat Brown is the forgotten-looking man with the glasses. http://jpg3.lapl.org/pics50/00074746.jpg
No, I was looking at the Google photo which was copyrighted in 2008. Perhaps the wine store moved recently. Clintonville Electric is at 3367 N. High, which is next to the theater, so I think 3379 N. High is correct.
There is a Wendy’s at 315, then a parking lot, then a florist at 319. The florist looks to be carved out of a private home. This theater may have been razed, if the address was 317 Ridge Road.
I came across the site posted on 6/7/05 and was wondering if there has been any progress towards turning this into an arts center. Any news?
Not yet. I was in Philly last month but the Northeast is out of my jurisdiction.

I was actually going by the news story on Channel 29, as I mentioned.
Check out the Google map.
That’s where I got Arlington from. I couldn’t find the theater on Google using Wynnefield Avenue.

They may have removed some of the detail from the front after the theater closed. It’s just a plain box with a marquee in front.
Here is the website for the culinary school:

The building is being advertised for sale. It is unrecognizable as a theater as the front of the building has been glassed in.

It looks like the space is now a Chinese restaurant called Top of the World Buffet.

I’m not arguing with you. I am skeptical of most of the things I read on the internet.

There is a wine store in the lobby. Function should be retail.

Maybe it’s out in front with the sofas.
