Old newspaper ads have the address for the Webster Theatre as 2158. But newspapers have been known to make mistakes.
In the 60s for a short period, the building was used as a Produce store. After demolition, a Amoco gas station occupied the site for many years. Currently (2010) the site has a multistory retail/condo building under construction.
Does anyone know about another theatre just a few doors north of the WEBSTER, once called the JINGLES. Probably during the days before Damen Ave was called Damen—it was known as “Robey”. I’ll be digging around for something on it myself. Thank you.
The Theatre was demolished in the mid 60’s. I had looked inside once just prior to demolition. There was a big doorway – possibly for loading and un-loading built into a side wall. It was rather small and the floor had been leveled.
