There was another theatre on this site that was built in 1912 and may have burned down in 1915. The building that the Roxy was in still exists (I know because I live in Milton). The Roxy (named the Princess at that time) opened in 1916 and it is true that it lost out in the competition with the new 3 plex that opened in the early 80’s. I can’t find an actual date that it closed, but it only showed movies sporadically by 1982. The entrance way to the theatre is now a store named Awesome Bodies that sells health products (vitamins and such). The building was never demolished.
