The Ritz Theatre was a first-run venue, originally developed as a mixed-use building with the theatre, retail spaces and apartments.
Reported as demolished in 1988 but recent photos reveal that the building exists, has been expanded at the back of the building, and is currently a condominium apartment complex.
