The address is now 340 Walcott Street. There is now a beauty salon(Haus of Style) in this building too(possibly the former childrens clothing store(Goldilocks), or next door to it?).

The picture gardens site became housing units. The carpark became a supermarket(name unknown?,(possibly the first supermarket in the Perth area?), and then a antique store(name unknown?), unknown if still open as an antique store?). This theatre building should be heritage listed!? Unknown if any of the inside of the picture theatre fittings or fixtures remain anymore?
