Description
Opened in 1937, the Paradise Theatre was designed by Benjamin Brown, one of the earliest Jewish architects in Toronto. Situated prominently between Dovercourt and Dufferin, the theatre has inherent value as an anchor building to this section of Bloor Street. Following a period of abandonment and renovation, the Theatre reopened in 2019.
