ScreenClassic commented about Strand Theatre on Jun 19, 2011 at 12:36 am

After the Strand closed, Fletcher’s Furniture bought the theatre building, renovated and expanded into it. When Fletcher’s relocated around 1996, the building was renovated for retail on the main floor, along with an art studio and gallery on the upper floor in what had been the balcony area of the Strand portion of the building. It was demolished, along with neighboring buildings on Commercial Street, in the fall of 2005 to make way for construction of the Vancouver Island Conference Centre.

Auditorium 1 at the Caprice Duncan (which is what it still appears as) is actually 372, not 672.

ScreenClassic commented about Coronet Theatre on Jun 18, 2011 at 10:31 pm

This theatre first opened as the Atlas in 1946. I think it actually was renamed the Coronet in about 1965 or 1966 because it was listed as the Coronet at this address in the 1966 Victoria Yellow Pages.
