The original post at the top is correct. The former site of the Birchcliff Theatre, at 1535 Kingston Road (per Google Maps - postal code M1N 1R5), is now the location of Station 42 of the Toronto Paramedic Services, built there after the Birchcliff was demolished in 1977, so this theatre’s status needs to be changed to Demolished.
Opened by 20th Century on November 3rd, 1949. Grand opening ad posted.
This theatre was built and operated by Twentieth Century Theatres N. A. Taylor who was a Famous Players partner!
The Birchcliff Theatre opened in 1949, located at 1535 Kingston Rd. Scarborough, Ontario.
The theatre was built on the old foundation of the barns that once housed a type of streetcar known as a “radial car”, which ran along Kingston Road to West Hill.
The Birchcliff Theatre’s business declined following the advent of multi-theatre cinemas and it was demolished in 1977.
A Toronto Emergency Medical Service (EMS) ambulance dispatch building was then built on the site of the theatre – it remains as of this posting (July 2008).
