In early 1950’s an ad for a theater whose name was “OUR” appeared and there were no ads for the Roxy. Can someone provide some info on this? Were they one in the same theater or what?

This theater was also home to a local theater group, and what is interesting is in their newspaper ads, they were linked to the Bell (Campbell) and the Ritz (Struthers).

The Roxy Theatre was located in the Canfield WPA Memorial Building, 132 S Broad Street. The building also housed a library, an American Legion hall and a Masonic lodge, as well as facilities for youth groups. It is now privately owned and has been converted into offices.

Construction on the building began in December, 1936. It was designed in the Colonial Revival style by Youngstown architects Cook & Canfield (William H. Cook and W. Canfield.) The project was financed in part by local subscription and in part by funds from the Works Progress Administration.

In 2007 the building was declared an historic site by the Ohio Historical Society, who placed a marker. The text of the marker can be read on this web page.
