The Eglinton Theatre, (or Eglinton Grand) is an event venue and cinema in Toronto, Canada. It is a national historic site of Canada.
Built in 1936,[2] the Eglinton became one of the best examples of the Art Deco-style in Canadian theatre design. In 1937 it won the Royal Architecture Institute of Canada Bronze Medal. During 1965 and 1967, the “Sound of Music” played for 146 weeks.[1] In 1993, it was designated a national historic site of Canada.
It operated as a cinema for 67 years, from 1936–2003, after which it was converted to an event venue.
