Address: 451-455 Talbot St., St. Thomas ON

"The three-storey red brick building at 451-455 Talbot St. was erected for Dr. Tyrell Duncombe and opened on Sept. 18, 1894 as the Duncombe Opera House, seating 1,000-plus patrons.

There were shops in the ground floor storefronts and professional offices on the second floor, and a St. David's masonic lodge on the third.

Later, the Hippodrome was the first moving picture theatre in our town."
