The Coniston opened on November 17, 1919 with Thomas Carrigan in “Checkers” with no extra short subjects. It was first operated by L.C. Fisher. It was later operated by Ersley A. Blanchard who joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the 1950s.

The Coniston closed in 1963.

There is only one “n” in the middle of Coniston. Photos are here, in Boxoffice Magazine’s issue of July 17, 1948. The article says that the nickelodeon-era house had been remodeled to plans by architect William Riseman, William Riseman Associates.
