Vogue Theatre

The Vogue Theatre was built by Odeon Theatres in 1940-41. It was designed by Kaplan and Sprachman, who designed many theatre across Canada. The theatre was designed to handle vaudeville and road shows.

The Vogue Theatre was designated a national historic site in 1993 because it is a particularly well-preserved theatre of the Moderne style in Canadian architecture. It is a rare example, by virtue of its scale, age and design, of a theatre that accommodated both cinema and live performance; the Vogue illustrates the major shift to integration of sound amplification and modulated lighting into theatre design.
