This two-storey brick former theatre building on Main Street in Flin Flon, measuring 42 feet by 92 feet, was designed by Winnipeg architectural firm Green Blankstein Russell and Associates and built in 1932.

In the 1940s, the building was extensively renovated into a store for the Hudson’s Bay Company, and is completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.
