Last operated by Cineplex Odeon, closed on October 19, 1989 with “Sea Of Love”.
The history section of the Biltmore’s official web site says that the house opened on April 4, 1940, and was designed by the architectural firm of Webb, Blythe & Sproule. Note that the current operators of this live music venue have readopted the original name of the house. Although the original decoration of the interior is gone, work is ongoing to restore what remains of the façade and to recreate the original Streamlined/Art Deco look elsewhere.
This location appears to have been the first for the Okun Bros. Biltmore Theatres, Ltd. chain. It was followed by four other houses called the Biltmore, plus the Biltmore Savoy Theatre in Toronto.
