Although most of the houses in this area were demolished in the late 1930's/40's

Queen and Ryerson/Majestic Theatre/Then and Now

An advert from 1911 for the Majestic Theatre.

These photos,taken in 1913 show the interior and exterior of the Majestic Theatre (The Majesticograph) located on the N/W corner of Queen West at Ryerson. I suspect at the request of the Fire Department as the exits seen dubious at best.

Fire exit.

Fire exit with pull down stairs.

The Lobby.At some point the building was demolished and Ryerson was widened. The store on the right remains intact.
