York Theatre (Montreal)

The York Theatre was an Art deco cinema and mixed-use complex in Montreal, opened in 1938 and demolished in 2001 for the construction of the Engineering, Computer Science and Visual Arts Integrated Complex of Concordia University.

Briffa, who had overseen interior designs of over 100 cinemas in Canada, commissioned murals by artist Kenneth Hensley Holmden for the project.

[1] Concordia purchased the complex in 1998, deciding that it was too badly deteriorated to save.

It was built with a capacity of 1,200 theatre goers for the United Amusement Corporation.
