The Metro Theatre opened on March 23, 1938 and had 593-seats. It was part of the Odeon Theatres chain. It closed around 1955 and was subsequently renovated and, after going through other uses served as a rental hall for banquets, weddings and other events, known as the Heritage Banquet Hall. By 2023 it was in use as a church.
