Advertised as Canada's oldest "The Strand Theatre" in Beaverton opened in 1940.

Up on top of the canopy you will see this relic movie projector along with strips of film.

    I love old theatres Andy. Would much rather watch a movie here than in the giant cinipelexes.

    I remember our old theatre in my hometown looks like that. Great choice for the theme this week.

    It is rather a non-descript looking building - except for all the cool adornments! Love that projector and film!

    Terrific T post, this oldest Theatre, Andy! Not only the film projector, but the photos/signs on the front are a Treat to see.
