Historic timeline

This section of the Danforth grew after the Prince Edward Viaduct was opened in 1918 to connect the area with downtown Toronto.
The theatre was never ornate, but designed to be comfortable instead. The symmetrical building includes both Palladian and Georgian Revival elements, such as repeating low-relief classical ornamentation, along with Flemish bond and herringbone brickwork and opal glass windows.
In 1923 this theatre, along with most of the theatres in the Allen Theatres chain, was acquired by Famous Players and renamed. In this case it became known as the Century Theatre.
In 1970 the theatre changed names again - to the Titania Theatre, showing Greek language films reflecting the neighbourhood at the time.
In the late 1970's the theatre was also used for live music acts, so was also known as the Music Hall from this point onwards.
