Keelung Yuandong Theater

Established around 1926 as Takasago-gekijō (高砂劇場), and also known as Shinsei-kan (新聲館) during the Japanese colonial era. It was originally a red brick building with a capacity of 700, although other estimates suggest it could accommodate 1,200. Sometime after the war, perhaps in the late 1970s or early 1980s, a more modern commercial complex was built on this site, and a new theater opened in the building. This theater remained in business until around 2010, after which it closed down. The space was soon renovated for use as a church, ending nearly a century of showing films on this location. The original ticket booth was still visible at ground level in the late 2010s.
