I answered my own question today…the Regent is a red brick building and is still standing. It is now owned by the local Catholic Diosese and is for rent.

This theatre is listed as closed so can anyone tell me if it is still standing?

Nasty words……urban renewal!

The Regent was a victim of urban renewal. Around the corner about 2 blocks away stood The Capitol, which was razed after the roof collapsed in a major rain storm. The building was virtually destroyed, as was the building next door, which housed “The Safe Store”. Both of these theaters, as well as The Wintergarden (Now restored as the 1891 Fredonia Opera House) were operated by the same chain,(Burgett? Burgess?) Theaters. All three were managed by Mr talman when I was growing up in the 50s and 60s
