The reference I found placed the Roxy at number 66 and an opening date of 1946. But it was on Facebook so……. It was closed in 1950 and turned into a skating rink. In the 60’s, after a fire, the first floor wall to the adjacent building was broken down to expand the space for retail. I’ve uploaded a montage photo showing three images of the exterior from the 60’s as well as a 50’s advertising poster.

Open ~1945? Can anyone verify the exact dates?

More info and old photos are always welcome.
